Phosphine
Several phosphine products are registered for use on rabbits in WA (Table 5). The mode of action of phosphine is not well understood but it is principally a strong inhibitor of mitochondria respiration by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase. Access to this chemical in WA is very restricted. It is a Schedule 7 poison and can only be supplied to or used by an authorised person (see pesticides used in the management of vertebrate pests link). Licenced Pest Management Technicians require specific training before they can use phosphine.
