USDA is requesting input on rodent control in agriculture (due Monday January 23rd)

January 18, 2023 by Pat Hastings

[Posted to NACAA listserv, and provided courtesy of Rick Van Vranken]. Request to agricultural producers: if you (as a Private Applicator) and/or your agent (a Commercial Applicator) makes applications of rodenticides, please respond to this survey yourself and also forward to any Commercial Applicator service you hire to perform rodenticide treatment(s). Thank you.


USDA’s Office of Pest Management Policy (OPMP) is requesting your participation in a survey on rodenticide use in outdoor agricultural production. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released a Proposed Interim Decision (PID) for 11 rodenticide active ingredients that proposes to significantly limit or restrict some uses of these chemicals in agricultural production. You can learn more about EPA’s proposed decision here on Regulations.gov.

Who we want to hear from: Individuals with experience in rodent control in outdoor agricultural settings in the past five years.

Why your input matters: It is in everyone’s interest for regulators to understand what practices growers already implement and what practices are most compatible with their operations. Your responses will help inform OPMP’s input to EPA about what options are most workable for growers and why. Previous examples of these efforts include our surveys on malathion use in vegetables and atrazine use in corn/sorghum.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be saved and re-entered if you are interrupted while responding. Your responses are anonymous.

Please respond by Monday, January 23, 2023 for your voice to be counted. We greatly appreciate your participation.

Thank you for your support!
