Abstract: The invention consists of the use of hydrophilic polymers or copolymers of the polyacrylic acid or sodium polyacrylate family, which are crosslinked, in proportions of between 50 and 10 000 parts per million, for the production of a rodenticidal product. The rodenticidal product is composed of polymers or copolymers as mentioned above and of an appetizing coating according to respective proportions of from 1% to 50% by weight for the polymer and from 99% to 50% by weight for the appetizing composition. The process comprises the steps consisting in mixing the abovementioned polymers or copolymers with an appetizing product so as to form a paste, then in using an extruder to form the product.

Abstract: A rodenticidal compound of formula (I): as well as the isomers thereof, in particular enantiomers, diastereoisomers, tautomers or mixtures of isomers in all proportions, where: R1 is: H or (II) or (III) with X?H, OH, Cl, Br, F or N02; R2 is: (IV) or (V) or (VI) with X?H, OH, Cl, Br, F or NO2; R3 is: O or S or (VII) with X?H, OH, Cl, Br, F or N02. Compositions containing such compounds as well as a method of use thereof in controlling harmful rodents are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the treatment of obesity or excess weight of a domestic or pet mammal, the device consisting of a balloon which is adapted to be placed in the animal's stomach and comprises a flexible envelope (E) sealed against air and alimentary and/or physiological liquids, as well as an inflating valve (V) hermetically sealed to the flexible envelope (E). The invention also relates to the use of a flexible envelope (E) sealed against air and alimentary and/or physiological liquids and equipped with an inflating valve (V) to form a device for the treatment of obesity or excess weight of a domestic or pet mammal, this device being designed to be placed in this animal's stomach and filled in-situ with fluid.
