Zinc phosphide (ZnP) coated grain is used for control, but with variable success. In a laboratory setting, we tested if mice would (i) switch from consumption of one grain type to another when presented with an alternative and (ii) consume ZnP\u2010treated grains when presented as a choice with a different grain.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mice readily switched from their background grain to an alternative grain, preferring cereals (wheat or barley) over lentils. Mice readily consumed ZnP\u2010coated barley grains.

Mice died between 4 and 112\u2009h (median\u00a0=\u00a018\u2009h) after consuming one or more toxic grains. Independent analysis of ZnP\u2010coated grains showed variable toxin loading indicating that consumption of a single grain would not guarantee intake of a lethal dose. There was also a strong and rapid behavioural aversion if mice did not consume a lethal dose on the first night.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The registered dose rate of 25\u2009g of ZnP\/kg wheat (~1\u2009mg of ZnP\/grain) in Australia needs to be re\u2010evaluated to determine what factors may be contributing to variation in efficacy.
