Help us get the word out! Our brochure is packed with important info and reminders about the harm poison does to non-target wildlife, pets, and children, and about its devastating effect on the natural ecosystem. We list the most dangerous and widely used poisons, and include tips to keep rodents away without killing and harming other animals.

Currently Available Poisons

Although all “second generation” anticoagulant poisons should have been removed from consumer shelves as of April 1, 2015, pest control companies can still use them, and dangerous products remain on the shelves, including “first generation” anticoagulants and other, new poisons.  See our chart of those products here.

Note that in California, under AB 1788, which went into effect January 1, 2021, pest control companies are no longer allowed to use second generation anticoagulants for homeowner pest control.

Poison = Profits
