The presence of a small amount of an antibiotic, such as metronidazole or a salt or derivative thereof, in warfarin-containing rodent baits enhances the toxicity of warfarin against rodents which have heretofore shown apparent resistance to warfarin.

Abstract:
A method is described for controlling the spread of Lyme disease spirochete from rodents which have been infected. The method involves orally administering to the rodents a composition which includes an antibiotic, e.g. chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol, florfenicol, or a salt or derivative thereof, or mixtures of antibiotics, capable of killing the spirochete. Bait compositions are described which include an antibiotic. The bait compositions may be solid or liquid.

Abstract:
Methods are described for controlling larvae, subadult and adult ticks and fleas on mammals, e.g. rodents. The methods involve feeding a diet composition to mammals in the wild containing a systemic insecticide or insect growth regulator. Optionally, the compositions can also contain a rodenticide.
A bait station and method for introducing a bait composition to vertebrate pests which inhabit underground burrows or tunnels. The bait station includes a housing with one or more openings in the side walls for the pests to enter and feed on the bait composition. A vertical tube can be used to add bait composition to the station through an aperture in the top surface of the station.
A method is described for controlling or exterminating moles through the use of a bait composition in the form of a gel, paste, or grease. The composition includes an attractant and an active ingredient capable of killing vertebrate pests. The composition is injected into a mole tunnel through a small diameter nozzle, tube or needle to avoid digging open the tunnel or causing it to collapse.
The presence of a small amount of an antibiotic, such as tetracycline or a salt or derivative thereof, in warfarin-containing rodent baits enhances the toxicity of warfarin against rodents which have heretofore shown apparent resistance to warfarin.
