About

Don't use rodenticides! Let hawks and owls do their job!

Description

RATS (Raptors Are The Solution) is a group of concerned citizens, agencies, and environmental groups working to educate the public about the danger to wildlife and ecosystems from using rodenticides. Secondary poisoning of wildlife occurs when predator species eat prey -- mice, rats, gophers -- that have been poisoned with anticoagulant rodenticides.

The US EPA recently determined that these second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides cause “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.” Yet despite EPA’s cancellation of the re-registration of these products, many of the largest rodenticide manufacturers have refused to take their products off the market, and the problem is still not well understood by the general public.

As a result, many well-meaning citizens chose to use D-Con and other anticoagulants in their homes and yards. Once ingested, these cause poisoned weakened rodents to go outside seeking water, where they are easy prey for Cooper's, Red-shouldered, and Red-tailed hawks, also Barn and Great Horned owls, and terrestrial predators such as Gray and Red fox, Bobcats, and Striped Skunks. Pets and children may be exposed as well.
