Pest Control

Rodent Management

Regulation and Codes of Practice now cover the use of professional anticoagulant rodenticides and the use of metallic phosphides. Any rodent control using professional second generation anticoagulent rodenticides must be carried out by a person with a recognised award in the use of rodenticides.

Farmers, game keepers and pest controllers have a legal obligation to comply to the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) Code of Best Practice.

Possession of an approved qualification, such as the Lantra Awards Level 2 Award in Rodent Management, obtained after appropriate training, demonstrates professional competence and permits purchase of rodenticide products.
