| 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). The Ventura County supervisors also voted Tuesday to support legislation by state Assemblywoman Fran Pavley, D-Woodland Hills, which would allow any county to prohibit the sale of the anticoagulant poisons containing brodifacoum, bromadialone, diphacinone and difethilone. |
