Here is a very interesting article from America on how Pest Control Professionals (PMPs) are being blamed for 'wildlife incidents' when it is almost certainly down to misuse by amateurs. And it has some interesting facts and figures to back up the argument.

Shouldnt be too difficult. Any of the blue/green or red colured baits tend to also colour the droppings so other colourings will probably also work. Production costs would likely prohibit any change.
A simpler way would be to just limit the quantities able to be sold to the public. Restrict the sale of commercial amounts to registered professionals and leave small, expensive packs for the general public.

That is a very interesting article. Due to the unusually high use of Brodifacoum by amateurs the statistcs are able to show who the likely offenders are.
With this in mind, is there anyway of altering the formulations of the amatateur / agricultural / professional products so some traceable 'marker' could be present? This may then give a better indication as to who the main culprits are. I assume it would mean three different registrations though???? |
