The chemicals of concern - brodifacoum, bromadiolone, diphacinone and difethialone - have been in use for more than two decades.
Following the initial survey, teams from the city Department of Housing treated all infested properties in the intervention areas, first with tracking powders containing bromodiolone (3-[3-(4[prime]-bromo [1,1[prime]-biphenyl]-4-yl)- 3-hydroxy-1-phenylpropyl]-4-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-1), bromethalin (n-methyl-2, 4-dinitro-n-(2,4,6-tribromophenyl) -6-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine), and diphacinone (2-(diphenylacetyl)-1H-indene-1, 3-(2H)-dione).
