ABSTRACT:
A novel rodent edible is disclosed. The edible contains a conventional edible component, and an attractant naturally present in the breath of said rodents in an amount effective to increase the preference for said edible component to said rodents. Carbon disulfide and carbonyl sulfide are the preferred attractants. Preference for the edible component may be achieved by mixing the attractant with the food, or merely by associating the aroma of the attractant with the edible component to stimulate a preference for that component.
