Mr Muddy 141 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I had this link emailed to me: http://www.pestmagazine.co.uk/_attachments/Resources/898_S4.pdf I can’t make head nor tail of it. I’m not even sure what it is. ‘Proposals for SGARs Industry Stewardship’ what does the even mean? I do, at least, know what SGARs are, and I’m guessing it’s something that’s going to be sent to Whitehall. But, surely the government will just go with whoever spends the most on lobbying? Presumably retailers & chemical companies. Can someone please give me the heads-up on this? Quote Link to post
blatta 2 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 The background to this is that the labels on all second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) are changing. They will soon say 'for use in and around buildings'. This means that no one will be able to use SGARs away from buildings or what is being termed 'use in open areas'. This document lays out possible routes to allow the use of SGARs in 'open areas'. The route being looked is to have a Stewardship regime and this is the proposal. Quote Link to post
WhiteN 15 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Once its approved (im sure it will be) will mean it will change with IMMEDIATE EFFECT, i believe its to help aid in cases of secondary poisioning and to reduce the amount of rodenticide being used by non profressionals ???

Mr Muddy 141 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks for that Blatta, I’ll keep an eye on the labels (I do anyway). I must say ‘In and around buildings’ sounds like the worst of both worlds= flocoumafen under the bird table and rats living it up in the park. Quote Link to post
