Anticoagulant Rodenticide Sales and Use Restrictions
Summary
New York Assembly Bill A10795 prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or distribution of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides throughout the state. The law also prohibits the use of both first-generation and second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides within 500 feet of any wildlife habitat area. Retailers and distributors must immediately cease sales of affected products.
What changed
Assembly Bill A10795 enacts the 'Restriction of Anticoagulant Pesticide Transactions' law, creating two primary prohibitions: (1) a complete ban on selling, offering for sale, or distributing any second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide within New York State, and (2) a prohibition on using either first-generation or second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides within 500 feet of a wildlife habitat area.
Retailers, distributors, and pest control operators must immediately cease sales and distribution of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. Businesses should review inventory, update compliance procedures, and ensure that any rodenticide use near wildlife habitats complies with the 500-foot buffer requirement. The bill was sponsored by Christopher Burdick and referred to the Environmental Conservation committee.
What to do next
- Cease all sales and distribution of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides
- Review and update rodenticide inventory to identify affected products
- Ensure any rodenticide use near wildlife habitats complies with the 500-foot buffer requirement
