Protect your wild neighbors and pets from accidental poisoning.
Use pesticides very carefully and follow all label directions,
or - even better - choose organic or mechanical methods to control pests.
Californians are reminded to use caution when using poison baits (rodenticides) to control rodent pests this spring. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has found that careless use of these chemicals has injured and killed wildlife and pets throughout the state.
In 2010, California witnessed unusually high numbers of voles, which created problems for homeowners. Voles are small, outdoor rodents that build and use grass "tunnels." They are similar in appearance to house mice, with short tails and smaller ears.
Residents should be aware of the dangers that some rodenticides pose to wildlife and pets, particularly through secondary poisoning. Secondary poisoning occurs when scavenging species eat dead or dying rodents that have been killed by rodenticides. Owls, hawks, other scavenging birds and predators such as raccoons, foxes, skunks and coyotes are at risk. Pets will also eat dead or dying rodents and unprotected bait. Deer may be attracted to the pellet forms of rodenticides.
