AI Summary

Mice and rats can spread viruses, trigger asthma, and damage property. When they enter homes, people often use rodenticides to protect their living space. Anticoagulant rodenticides, which stop blood clotting and cause rodents to die from internal bleeding, are widely used. However, these poisons can be transferred to predators such as hawks and owls when the birds eat poisoned rodents. The resulting exposure can kill the predators.
