Bromethrin is a highly potent neurotoxic rodenticide used to control rodent infestations in agricultural, commercial, and residential settings. It acts by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, leading to decreased ATP production and disruption of cellular ion balance. This results in cerebral edema, paralysis, and ultimately death in rodents.
