The Rat Poison Problem: How Rodenticides Are Harming Wildlife, Pets, and People
November 8, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EST
FreeClimate change, a construction boom, and increased human density have led to a dramatic rise in rats. Rat poison usually is the main method for dealing with the problem. But these poisons are killing our local wildlife, including sensitive species like bald eagles and snowy owls, as well as endangering pets and young children. At the same time, these poisons are not actually proving at all effective in reducing rodents.
In this presentation, Laura Kiesel, wildlife biologist, naturalist, conservation advocate, environmental journalist and founder of Save Arlington Wildlife will partner with Raptors Are the Solution (RATS) to review facts about rodenticides and their effects on our health and the environment, while offering practical solutions people can undertake to protect their local communities from these dangerous poisons that will have positive ripple effects for the entire ecosystem.
