Barium compounds are sometimes used in rat poison because they are toxic to rodents when ingested. Barium can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles in rats, leading to their death. However, it's important to use caution when using barium-based rat poisons to prevent unintended harm to non-target animals.
