Bromethalin Warning
 
In general, we do not recommend using any rat or mouse bait in homes or building’s pets have access to. We are posting this alert to warn against the use of the baits containing Bromethalin. It can be far more difficult to treat then standard rat poison containing anti-coagulants. In some cases pets can die even if caught early and treated aggressively. We have seen multiple cases already this winter as it is being sold locally at several retail outlets. Please avoid using these products for your pets safety.
