Second generation anticoagulants are more apt to kill which type of rodent feeders?

• A. Only heavy feeders
• B. Marginal, reluctant, or one-time feeders
• C. Always consistent feeders
• D. Non-target wildlife

Answer: (B)

Second-generation anticoagulants are much more potent and can kill with a single, small exposure. That makes them especially effective against rodents that do not eat bait regularly—marginal, reluctant, or one-time feeders. Heavy feeders might still be killed if they ingest enough, but the hallmark advantage of SGARs is their ability to eliminate those cautious or infrequent feeders, which is why this option is the best choice.
