Why are rodenticides a problem?

Rodenticides take days to weeks to kill the intended target. In that time, rodents have been shown to feed on the bait multiple times. Dying rodents spend more time out in the open, moving slowly or not at all as they die slow and painful deaths. This makes rodents easy prey. 

As rodenticides are highly lethal and often kill with only one feeding, a big problem for other animals that rely on rodents for food, lies in the fact that these poisons take days to over a week to kill the intended target. Secondary ingestion is via eating a poisoned rodent. Because rodenticides persist in the body and environment, the animal who has ingested a poisoned rodent has now ingested rodenticides too. It is apparent how this can be a problem for all creatures that rely on rodents as a source of food. These poisons continue to build up in their livers with every rodent they catch. 

Rodent proofing is actually not hard and more straightforward than you think. If you have a specific issue, we encourage you to seek assistance from wildlife removal professionals linked here or reach out to us to help find one for you or guide you on what to look for in a truly humane and eco friendly company.

A transition to poison free rodent management can be done with relative ease, and proves cost-effective in the long run. Companies that use poisons claim “that preventative pest control strategies are prohibitively expensive”

This claim reflects an outdated mindset focused on short-term costs over long-term value and public wellbeing.  Let’s think about an ongoing, never ending contract for poisons compared to a 1 time visit from a company that properly seals up your home, doe not use poison and often warranties their work for up to 5 years and BONUS the building is more energy efficient. OR, you can do it yourself.

Rodent exclusion may require some upfront costs, but it will certainly pay off in the long term by eliminating the need for recurring poison subscriptions that perpetually expose communities, loved ones and other beings to toxic  chemicals. It is in the economic interest of companies that use poisons to ignore the steps below.
