Rodenticide Committee

Rodenticides are an important tool that commercial applicators, agricultural businesses and homeowners use to ensure rodents do not impact the health and safety of the general public or domestic animals. ASPCRO has an inherent roll in providing guidance to state lead agencies that must educate and regulate the use of rodenticides by applicators in their respective states. The ASPCRO Rodenticide Committee’s mission is to address principally structural issues, and when inter-connected, the agricultural issues related to rodent pest management resulting from the re-evaluation process and implementation of risk mitigation measures or other use restrictions for rodenticide active ingredients.
