Rodenticidal foams The present invention relates to rodenticidal foams based on hydrophilic polymers.
It is known that indanedione derivatives and 4-hydroxycoumarins lower the prothrombin level of blood. In rodents, they lead to a high mortality owing to internal haemorrhages. For this reason, they are employed as rodenticidal agents (in this context cf., for example, DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2 506 769, JP-PS
(Japanese Published Specification) 480 23 942; CH-PS (Swiss Published Specification) 481 580).
In many cases, the rodenticidal active compound is mixed with various agents which can be eaten by rodents, such as, for example, cereal, flour, sugar and oil, and with inorganic auxiliaries, such as, for example, talc powder, chalk powder and Ti02 1 ~ powder.
Baits prepared by this method have the disadvantage, however, that their attractive power to rodents decreases greatly with time. The decrease in the attractiveness is to be attributed to chemical breakdown of the active compound or of the agents which can be eaten.
It is known that the attractive power of baits is maintained by coating the active compound with polymers, such as, for example, ethylcellulose, ethoxylated polyarylphenols, polyoxyethylene glycols, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and the like (cf. EP 0 317 260, DE 26 47 722 and CA 107 963). This method has the disadvantage Le A 30 764-Foreign Countries 2~.6g'~88 that only the active compound and not the agents which can be eaten by rodents is thereby protected from ageing. For this reason, this method is unsuitable for maintaining the attractive power of baits.
It is furthermore lmown that the attractive power of baits to rodents is maintained by employing chemically stable, hydrogenated oils and fats as the carrier material (in this context cf. JP-OS (Japanese Published Specification) 620 30 161 ). As a rule, however, oils and fats which are completely hydrogenated or have a low double bond content have a lower attractive power to rodents.
For this reason, attempts have been made to develop flexible rodenticidal foams which are free from agents which are sensitive to oxidation. Such rodenticidal foams as a rule comprise aliphatic acids, such as stearic acid; neutral, anionic or cationic emulsifiers;
and various waxes, water and active compounds (in this context cf., for example, GB-PS (British Published Specification) 1 053 088, GB-PS (British Published Specification) 1 274 442, SU-PS (Soviet Published Specification) 363 474).
However, these rodenticidal foams have the disadvantage that they have a low storage stability, and in particular a low stability to low temperatures and moisture.
They collapse in the course of time to form a compact, highly viscous mass and lose their ' biological action.
For this reason, attempts have been made to develop storage-stable rigid rodenticidal foams based on polystyrenes, polyacrylates and two-component polyisocyanates (in this context cf., for example, JP-OS (Japanese Published Specification) 55 085 501, FR-PS (French Published Specification) 2 676 888 and US-A 4 190 734). These rigid rodenticidal foams are distinguished by stability to storage, low temperatures and moisture. However, they have the disadvantage that their preparation is expensive.
Furthermore, their biological action is low in many cases.
The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a new rodenticidal foam system which is distinguished by storage stability, resistance to~ moisture and low temperatures, easy preparation and application and a good biological action.
LeA30764 _2_ The present in~rent ion x:we~.at,:es to f ~.ex~.ble rodenticidal foams which comprise the following components:

The polyurethanes are prepared by reaction of the starting materials in a manner known per se, a ratio of the equivalence of isocyanate groups to groups which are reactive towards isocyanate groups of about 0.9:1 to 1.1:1 being maintained.

Weight of the test animals employed in g: 230/285/234/342/325 Test method:
The test was carried out with brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) vv~'Id form (number: S) in a small enclosure in accordance with Guideline 9 - 3.2 of the Federal Biological Institute. The enclosure comprised three chambers lying one behind the other.
Each chamber had a floor area of 1 m2. The individual chambers were connected to one another by holes (battery). One chamber, which served the rats as "living space", contained a nesting box with hay and cellulose for building nests. The middle chamber remained empty. The food and test agent were laid out in the third chamber.
Drinking water was available ad libitum through the entire test period. After the rats had been removed from the rearing pens, they were allowed to acclimatize themselves to the new environment for 3 days. After this acclimatization, the rats were prefect with Altromin O (standard diet) for one day.
A foam carpet (diameter: 40 X 60 cm / height: 1 cm) was then laid out at the entrance to the 3rd chamber. Feeding was continued with Altromin O, and the amounts eaten were determined daily by reweighing.
Results:
The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

1st day The rats have formed 2 circular holes in the foam, with the aid of which they can cross the foam by jumping in order to reach the food. Some flakes of foam lie in the running basin. The rats have a clean coat.

2nd day The foam carpet is renewed.

2nd day The rats have formed a passage through the foam through which they can reach the food without touching the foam. Some flakes of foam lie in the nu~ning basin. The test animals have a clean coat.

3rd day Same result as on the 2nd day.

4th day The 1 st rat is dead; otherwise the result is the same as on the preceding day.

5th day The 2nd rat is dead. One animal has coordination problems. The remaining rats continue to cross the foam carpet.

6th day The 3rd rat has died and 1 animal has poisoning symptoms.

7th day The 4th rat is dead. The last living animal shows no poisoning symptoms.

The time before the animals were killed (4-7 days) corresponds to our experiences with the "multible dose anticoagulant coumatetralyl".
One animal showed no poisoning symptoms until the 9th day and died only on the l lth day. It is to be assumed that this animal only crossed the foam carpet in the first LeA30764 - 10-~is~7ss nights after the other animals of the pack had already formed a lane through which it was possible to cross through the foam carpet without contamination.
