Please do your part today to help the professional pest management industry immediately!
With two simple clicks, you can tell your Senator and Senator Portantino: we need these tools to protect the public health of all Californians; don’t ban rodenticides because of non-scientific rhetoric!
If you remember legislative bill AB 1788 from several years ago. This new California measure would expand its impact and add Diphacinone to the list of banned chemicals in the State. The bill this year, AB 1322, is an essential ban all SGAR’s and Diphacinone, even if a DPR reevaluation finds no adverse impacts to ecosystems and non-target wildlife!
If the Legislature chooses to ignore science and this bill is passed, it will not only have a devastating impact on pest control businesses, it will compromise public health and safety and will remove yet another effective tool for operators to keep rodent populations in check. This trend must stop NOW!
Since the passage of AB 1788 in 2020, California has seen an explosion in rodent activity across the state. Analyses of Alameda and Orange Counties show that in the last 2-3 years service calls for rodent problems have reached an all-time high. Now more than ever pest control operators must make their voices heard and urge Legislators to vote “NO” on AB 1322.
