Advice for Customers Who Have Been Denied Supply of Professional Use Rodenticides with Stewardship Conditions
On 1st January 2026 new rules came into force meaning that all professional use rodenticides with stewardship conditions attached to them can only be supplied to professional users holding certification demonstrating compliance with the UK
Rodenticide Stewardship Regime.
This applies to farmers, gamekeepers and pest controllers and explains why your supplier
has been unable to supply you today. You now have options as follows :
Option 1
You can undertake a CRRU UK approved training course. Once you have passed the course exam, this certification will allow you to purchase professional use rodenticides with stewardship conditions.
Option 3
You can employ the services of a professional pest control service company which employs only certified technicians.
