Write a letter to your Council Environment officer or a Councillor and let them know you are a member of their local community and concerned about Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides and the impact on Wildlife and Pets.
Request their support for Council to take the following steps and change their pest management practices, and then talk to the community about the dangers
1. Avoid the use of SGARs whenever possible, and instead use safer, readily available first-generation alternatives such as Warfarin
2. Only permit application of SGARs in solid, non-pellet form in tamper-resistant bait stations targeted specifically to rodents
3. Restrict permanent baiting and replace with pulsed baiting in areas where exposure to non-target wildlife is high
4. Stop using SGARs in residential or domestic areas, and restrict to within 100m of non-residential buildings
