Scilliroside
Scilliroside is a toxic compound commonly found in a plant species known as Red Squill (Urginea maritima). This substance serves as a plant-protectant chemical deterring herbivores from consuming the plant itself. It shows very strong toxic properties against rodents specifically, so it's widely used in the pest control industry as a rodenticide. However, due to its substantial toxicity, its usage requires careful handling and administration. The compound sets to work by interfering with rodents' bodily functions, hindering their ability to metabolize food properly. The progressive effect eventually leads to the death of the rodents. Overall, scilliroside is a potent weapon in pest control, particularly against destructive rodents.
