Just a little reminder on rat poisons. They don’t just kill rodents! Second generation anticoagulant rodenticides are killing native predators the world over. Think twice, maybe even thrice before using SGARs.

It bothers me so much that every building I encounter has rodenticides outside them. The bait in these boxes out doors will more than likely spread to the food chain. We need to do so much better and ban second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs). Do better APVMA!!

Why do we want these cruel products banned? SGARs cause immense suffering to rats. They also cause slow, agonising deaths to owls, possums, quolls, wedge-tailed eagles and even family pets. SGARs cause animals to bleed to death from the inside- over a period of days.

Breaking News! The state Board of Pesticides Control moved forward today with a restriction on the sale and use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs). SGARs are powerful toxins that can be accidentally ingested by a host of non-target wildlife, causing injury or death.

Done. You should too. SGARs don't just kill rodents, they kill non target species too. They are bad.
