RESUMO
The present investigation was conducted to study the effectiveness of three anticoagulants, bromadiolone as a second generation and chlorophacinone as a first generation which was activated by adding antibacterial sulfaquinoxaline, as well as tracking powder coumachlor against three commensal rodents in Egyptian villages. Bait containing 0.005% bromadiolone achieved complete control against Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus in 19 days and 13 days, respectively, but it was ineffective against Acomys cahirinus. Baiting with 0.006% chlorophacinone plus 0.019% sulfaquinoxaline achieved complete control against R. rattus, R. norvegicus and A. cahirinus in range 11-15, 8-10 days and 15-20 days and 15-20 days, respectively. About 81% control was achieved by 1% coumachlor against R. norvegicus, but about 63% against A. cahirinus
