Stewardship Essentials

  • Stewardship rules apply to the supply and use of rodenticides being authorised for application by professionals outdoors and carrying labels with ‘stewardship conditions’
  • Pest controllers, farmers, gamekeepers: All must be qualified for access to professional products. Click your group for more information
  • Certified = able to show proof of competence. No proof, no supply
  • Use rodenticides only after careful consideration of all options. Use first those methods you expect to be fully effective but which present lower risks to wildlife
  • Rodenticide residues in wildlife are being monitored closely
  • HSE, and other government agencies are overseeing stewardship, wildlife residues and rodenticide availability
