Throughout California, the use of poison baits to control rodents has injured and killed hundreds or thousands of wild animals and pets.

​

Predatory and scavenging birds and mammals like owls, hawks, raccoons, bobcats, mountain lions, foxes, skunks and coyotes that eat dead or dying rodents that have consumed these baits will also be poisoned.

​

Pets will also eat dead or dying rodents and unprotected bait.
