An act relating to banning the use of rodenticides

H.758 would ban the use and sale of all rodenticides in Vermont, including first- and second-generation anticoagulants (like warfarin) and nonanticoagulants (like bromethalin). This prohibition applies to all residents and commercial applicators, covering both physical and online sales. The bill allows limited exemptions for agricultural emergencies, environmental crises, or public health risks when no alternative pest control methods exist. It directly affects anyone who uses or sells rodenticides in Vermont, aiming to protect humans, pets, and wildlife from poisoning risks documented in the bill’s findings.
