\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, May 10, 2018) Rodenticides like bromadiolone, used to kill vole populations on farms, act like \u201csuper-predators\u201d that imperil ecosystem health, according to preliminary results published by researchers working for the European Union<\/a>. \u201cControlling voles with bromadiolone reduces the amount of food available to predators and increases their risk of secondary poisoning when they eat the contaminated rodents,\u201d project researcher Javier Fernandez de Simon, PhD, said in a press release. The study provides a model that may alleviate the impact of rodenticide use and provide a balance between on-farm pest management and sustainability.<\/p>\n

There are several types of rodenticides<\/a> available on the market, including acute poisons like strychnine, fumigants like phosphine gas, and anti-coagulants such as warfarin and bromadiolone. Anti-coagulants, the focus of the present study, work by blocking the ability of the body to form blood clots. Animals exposed to bromodialone and other anti-coagulants experience ruptured blood vessels, hair loss and skin damage, nosebleeds, and bleeding gums prior to death. These pesticides are generally applied through secured bait boxes that only allow rodent pests to feed, however secondary poisoning is a common occurrence, leading researchers to dub these rodenticides, in effect, as \u201csuper-predators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodents that ingest anti-coagulant pesticides are not killed outright, and can be easy prey for animals up the food chain, particularly owls, raptors, foxes, coyotes, and small mustelids like the stoats and weasels observed in the current study. To reveal this occurrence in the wild, researchers set up monitoring stations around rodenticide-treated and untreated sites where weasels and stoats frequent during the growing season. While the population of mustelids remained relatively unchanged at untreated sites, treated sites experienced notable declines. \u201cAs small mustelids can consume dead voles and we only found rodenticide residues in voles and small mustelid droppings from treated sites, we concluded that application of anticoagulant rodenticides in grasslands may generally reduce the abundance of small mustelids,\u201d said\u00a0 Dr. Fernandez de Simon.<\/p>\n

Using a model, researchers found that anti-coagulant rodenticides were most destructive to other animals, acting most like \u201csuper-predators,\u201d when populations of target voles were lower than 50 voles per hectare. However, when the model was adjusted and these poisons were applied in low quantities when vole populations were higher \u2013 250 voles per hectare – predator populations were still able to grow, and successfully regulate vole populations by themselves. \u201cThis treatment protocol could reduce the impact of rodenticides on predator numbers, while maintaining relatively low densities of voles, thereby benefitting farmers\u2019 interests,\u201d Dr. Fernandez de Simon said.<\/p>\n

Anti-coagulant rodenticides garnered public attention for the 2014 poisoning of a charismatic mountain lion named P-22,<\/a> which frequents the \u201cHollywood\u201d sign in California. Use of rodenticides in illegal marijuana grow operations has led to consideration of protected status for populations of fishers on the west coast<\/a>. Many groups on the West Coast are working to replace the use of rodenticides with greater ecological diversity, and better preventative practices<\/a>. Poison Free Malibu<\/a>, which presented at Beyond Pesticides 36th<\/sup> National Pesticide Forum, is pushing for the passage of California bill AB 2422<\/a>, which would restrict the use of anticoagulant rodent poisons throughout the state.<\/p>\n

For more information on managing rodent problems without toxic, \u201csuper-predator\u201d rodenticides, see Beyond Pesticides ManageSafe webpage<\/a>. And to promote on-farm reduction of anti-coagulant rodenticides, support organic agriculture,<\/a> which doesn\u2019t allow this type of rodent poison, and requires any measure addressing rodent pests be guided by a pre-determined organic systems plan.<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them.

Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22500"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22600,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22500\/revisions\/22600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
