Zinc phosphide is a dark gray to black crystalline solid primarily used as a rodenticide. When ingested by rodents, it reacts with stomach acid to release phosphine gas, which is highly toxic and leads to their rapid death. Due to its effectiveness, Zinc phosphide is commonly used in agricultural and pest control settings to manage rat and mouse populations. It must be handled with care, as it is hazardous to humans, pets, and non-target wildlife if improperly used.
