Ignorantly mistaken as a safe option for rodent control, rodenticides are dangerous to children, domestic pets, and wildlife. A majority of baits on the market today require multiple feedings to be effective, allowing semi-poisoned rodents to run freely while relocating poisoned granules around our communities. The green or blue coloring can easily appear as candy to children, and it contains a scent attractant that lures domestic pets.
Most rodenticide poisoning stores in the liver of the poisoned animal while the chemical decreases blood-clotting abilities, eventually causing the animal to bleed out. A poisoned rodent becomes lethargic, which makes it easier prey for an unsuspecting predator, who in turn will ingest the poison. One poisoned mouse can kill an entire family of nestlings, offsetting the natural order and allowing rodents the upper hand.
Although not all rodenticide chemicals work the same way, they all still have the ability to affect non-target species. Please never use rat poison. There are many other products on the market that can help eliminate rodent problems, and it starts with changing habitat.
