[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 4779100, member: 430"] "The report was commissioned by the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) under its stewardship regime remit to an HSE-led Government Oversight Group (GOG). CRRU chairman Dr Alan Buckle says the difficulty for farmers, of course, is knowing the resistance status of rats on their own units. “One effective course of action, but also involving extra work and cost, is to employ a professional pest controller with the necessary qualifications to investigate,” he suggests. “Reading University, for example, offers paid-for resistance analysis of rat tissue samples, from which a farm’s status can be identified and control plans developed. “For farmers, this exemplifies how there is rather more to rodenticide stewardship than membership of an approved farm assurance scheme or taking a training course. For stewardship to be judged a success by GOG, meaningful and lasting reductions in rodenticide residues carried by non-target wildlife are expected. Without widespread best practice by farmers, enabled and supported by farm assurance and training, this might be an unlikely outcome.” Please excuse me for being cynical....! :rolleyes: Interesting how the article is aimed directly at farmers. It's almost as if they aren't happy about farmers doing their own pest control work.....! :whistle: [/QUOTE]
