ED – Recognised Endocrine Disruptor (ED): comes from an entry in the Candidate list. Potential ED: is shown for substances under assessment, and comes from an entry in the ED assessment list, if the outcome is not final and “Not ED”. At this time there is no industry submitted data taken into account to display an ED property of concern. More information about endocrine disrupting substances here. Unlike rats, mice are inquisitive and will explore any new objects in their surroundings. They will have no problem exploring a bait station or tray however if you find they aren’t attracted to the bait, you may find a more attractive type of bait could be used such as paste sachets. It is also good practice to move the station or tray each time you top it up, due to the inquisitive nature of mice this will actually entice them to explore. How do anticoagulant poisons work? The value of the non-originating materials used in production may be calculated on the basis of the weighted-average value formula, or other inventory valuation method under generally accepted accounting principles in the UK. Cholecalciferol is toxic to non-target animals and primary non-target poisoning is a risk through access to poison baits. Secondary poisoning of predators or scavenging species (e.g., cats, dogs, badgers and birds) may be possible but is not thought to be a major issue. The effects are difficult to reverse and antidotes are not readily available (Defra 2011). If you suspect a pet or another non-target animal has been poisoned, call the the vet straight away and if possible provide the toxin’s name, strength and the amount the animal has been exposed to, as well as the animal’s weight if that is known. The rule can be fulfilled if a plastic flask is manufactured from non-originating parts from any Harmonised System (HS) subheadings (6-digit Harmonised System (HS) codes) other than Harmonised System (HS) 392330.

Animals released from live traps will return if released nearby and may suffer and not survive if they are released further away.The ‘Properties of concern’ section shows ECHA-assigned graphical indicators for certain substance properties that are regarded as being of relevance or importance to human health and/or the environment based on the information provided to the Agency.

Rats can be wary of new objects in their surrounding, so it may just be that they’re not yet used to the bait station or bait being in their environment. Allow up to 2 weeks with the poison in place, after which you will need to move the bait to an area of higher activity. CRRU UK. 2021.
