[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 4779132, member: 430"] In fact....the report referred to in the above article referring to L120Q states almost exactly the same as the 2012 report. "Consequently, bromadiolone and difenacoum are no longer advocated for use anywhere in this area against L120Q (RRAG, 2010) and only brodifacoum, flocoumafen and difethialone have been recommended for use against L120Q." It also states: "Field trials of bromadiolone and difenacoum were conducted by workers from the University of Reading recently on farms near Newbury (Berkshire) and Winchester (Hampshire), where the rat infestations where almost entirely homozygous for the L120Q resistance mutation. Very large quantities of bromadiolone and difenacoum baits were used at these sites and poor levels of control were achieved (Rymer, 2017)" I hope they dispatched all of these rats they tested on properly....else all they are doing is exacerbating the situation and causing resistance to spread. Pirbright anyone...?
