#rodenticide — Public Fediverse posts

🐀 NEW: In Washington, DC, volunteer "Rat Rangers" lead evening walks through alleys to teach residents that #sanitation is rodent control.

The group formed after a 2024 #study found rodenticides in local wildlife. Two dozen neighbors learn about rat #biology, poison’s toll on #foxes and #owls, and simple prevention steps.

Please never buy or use rat poison. It is one of the cruelest deaths wildlife suffers—they bleed internally to death. It also kill predators.

There’s an alternative—birthControl rat bait—available in most US states.

Also, I’ve recently read that the trace of rat poison is already seeping into our drinking water in some places.

#Trump #EPA’s Next Move: Making It Harder to Sue for Getting Cancer from #Roundup

The corporation behind Roundup #herbicide has paid out nearly $11 billion in lawsuits. Now it's backing an EPA rule that would stop the bleeding.

by Schuyler Mitchell, March 21 2025

"Last August, 11 industry-friendly red states, led by Nebraska and Iowa, submitted a 436-page petition asking the agency to amend its labeling rules under the Federal #Insecticide, #Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act, or #FIFRA. The proposed rule change would explicitly prohibit states from labeling #pesticides and #herbicides with warnings about cancer, #BirthDefects, and reproductive harm if those notices contradict the EPA’s risk assessment.

"The states made clear that their ultimate goal is to thwart future lawsuits against pesticide manufacturers. Their petition argued that recent court rulings have created a 'gap in FIFRA’s regulatory framework' that the proposed rule change would plug.

"In January, in a move initiated by the Biden administration, the EPA took a first step of accepting public comment on the rule-making petition, with a deadline of March 24 — though this step is exploratory and does not mean a new rule will be issued. Still, the EPA’s decision could have disastrous consequences if Donald Trump’s second administration is as friendly to the #ChemicalIndustry as it was in his first.

"'It’s telling of the lengths that pesticide manufacturers will go to make sure that nothing interferes with their profit margins,' said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity. 'There’s a reality that the industry itself generates much of the data, and they say it’s safe, and then EPA approves that determination.”

"Given that a single owl can kill upward of 1,000 rodents a year, when owls succumb to SGARs poisoning, a hyper-effective natural pest-control predator is eliminated along with the rats."
I'm so glad to see @BostonGlobe is taking on these horrible rodenticides. It sure would be nice for the New England Pest Management Association to propose safer solutions instead of digging their heels into the status quo. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/03/opinion/rat-poison-sgar-bald-eagles-owls
