The genus Sorex is a group of mainly land-dwelling shrews with relatively long tails which includes many of the common shrews of Europe and North America. They are red-toothed shrews; species in this group have 32 teeth. This article is about the animal; see also The Taming of the Shrew for the use of this term to describe a person. ...

These animals have long pointed snouts, small ears which are often not visible and scent glands located on the side of the body. As their eyesight is general poor, they rely on hearing and smell to locate their prey, mainly insects. Some species also use echolocation. It is often difficult to distinguish between species without examining the dental pattern. See: Animal echolocation: animals emitting sound waves and listening to the echo in order to locate objects or navigate. ...
In some species, a female shrew and her dependent young form "caravans" where each shrew grasps the rear of the shrew in front when changing location.
Sorex Limited is an independent public and animal health company based in North West England with a 50 year history in rodenticide research and the invention of brodifacoum and difenacoum to its' credit.
After a couple of small feeds* on any Sorex difenacoum formulation, clotting is slowed down, leaks in the vessels are not repaired and after 4-10 days the rodent dies due to low blood pressure.
All Sorex formulations contain a fungistat to prolong bait attraction in even the dampest conditions and an insecticide to protect the grain in use, transport and storage, as well as Bitrex tm, the human taste deterrent, for added safety without loss of effectiveness.
The dusky shrew, Sorex monticolus, is a small to medium sized member of the long-tailed shrew genus Sorex, found within the family Soricidae.
Sorex monticolus is no exception, weighing about 5.5 to 7 g and measuring between 86 and 142 mm (Smith and Belk, 1996).
Sorex monticolus is also known as the montane shrew, an appropriate name since it is normally restricted to the mountainous or boreal regions of a corridor stretching from northern Alaska to northern Mexico and extending from the Pacific Ocean east to the Rocky Mountains (Smith and Belk, 1996).
