⚠️In March 2026 the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) announced new restrictions on powerful rodenticides known as second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs).
The decision was made after growing concerns about secondary poisoning of Australian wildlife, including birds of prey and native predators.
🏡 For homeowners, these changes highlight the importance of safe, responsible rodent control methods.
🐀 For pest control businesses, it's never been more important to streamline reporting, stay on top of compliance, and stay educated on the topic.
Under the new APVMA directive:
• SGAR rodenticides are suspended for 12 months
• Products must follow updated label instructions
• Import and manufacture are restricted unless approved
• Different instructions apply to domestic and commercial environments
Further regulatory changes are expected as part of an ongoing pesticide safety review.
