Abstract

LABORATORY tests have shown that sodium fluoroacetate1,2 and fluoroacetamide3,4 can act as systemic insecticides, and the latter compound has been tested or used in the field for pest control (mainly against aphids) in several countries5–7. In Britain, however, following the Smarden incident, the use of these compounds as rodenticides has been severely restricted and their use as insecticides prohibited8.
