DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the Second World War sodium monofluoroacetate, or sodium fluoroacetate (Compound 1080), has been the subject of wide research in the United States and elsewhere. Based on this research, it has been approved for animal damage control work by several nations. In the United States sodium monofluoroacetate has been a tool used by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife to control coyote and rodent damage, as well as a tool used by private pest control operators to control commensal rodents. Despite 25 years of worldwide research and practical experience, the use of Compound 1080 is still embroiled in controversy. The purpose of this monograph is to summarize current information on sodium monofluoroacetate, to review use patterns, and to provide a base for further studies.
