Abstract: A rodenticidal bait composition includes bromadiolone mainly in the form of the homostereoisomer of formula 3-[3-(4?-bromo-[1,1?-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3-hydroxy-1-phenylpropyl]-4-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, where carbons 1 and 3 of the 3-hydroxy-1-phenylpropyl group have the same absolute configuration. A method for controlling rodent pests using the rodenticidal bait is also described.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rodenticide bait including: difenacoum in the form of trans-difenacoum of formula 3-(biphenyl-4-yl)-1 -(4-hydroxycoumarin-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, in wherein carbons 1 and 3 of group 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene of the trans-difenacoum have the same absolute configuration; and an edible excipient for target rodent pests. The bait includes trans-difenacoum at a concentration above a minimum trans-difenacoum concentration lethal to female adults of the target rodents, but below a minimum trans-difenacoum concentration lethal to adult males of the target rodents, the minimum concentration lethal to female adults being less than the minimum concentration lethal to male adults. Also disclosed is a method for selectively controlling a population of target rodent pests.

Abstract: An electrochemical battery comprises a casing (1) presenting a surface of revolution about an axis, having at least one air inlet opening (4) and at least one air outlet opening (5), and housing firstly in a central portion (6), fan means (7), and secondly around the periphery of the central portion, secondary electrochemical cells (8) arranged in such a manner as to deliver selected electrical characteristics. The air flow generated by the axial fan means (7) between the air inlet opening (4) and the air outlet opening (5) sweep over the cells (8), thereby regulating their temperature.

Abstract: The tent (1) according to the invention comprises a frame supporting: an inner wall (3) defining with a groundsheet (5) a room, the inner wall having in its upper part an air-permeable zone (7), and an outer wall (2) superposed on the inner wall (3) and defining with the latter a layer of air, the outer wall having at least one opening (9) facing the air-permeable zone (7) of the inner wall (3), characterized in that the lower border (13) of the outer wall (2) is provided with raising means for moving the lower border from a position in which the border is in contact with the surface to a position in which the lower border (13) is raised to a distance from this surface.
