Throughout history, rat poison has been a common method of pest control, often being placed by pest companies or bought online for personal use. Times have changed though, and with a plethora of alternative options, the outdated use of this product is shooting us in the foot. Rodenticides have the power to wipe out an entire wildlife ecosystem and yet they are still commercially used in the state, which is why it’s imperative that it ends now. “I feel better in my soul, knowing that I'm taking an action to try to protect the environment," Co-founder of Save Concord Wildlife Gwendolyn Shipley said. “I would encourage anyone who is feeling a little bit overwhelmed, this could be a small step to take to help save the world.”
