The rule can be fulfilled if a plastic flask is manufactured from non-originating parts from any Harmonised System (HS) subheadings (6-digit Harmonised System (HS) codes) other than Harmonised System (HS) 392330. N.B. This advice does not relate to multi-catch mouse live traps. The welfare impact of such traps has not been determined and so at this time we would not recommend their use. If a product specific rule of origin allows production from non-originating materials of any heading, the product can include non-originating materials of the same heading. You’re are much more likely to hear rats than you are mice and are very unlikely to hear mice crawling. Which active ingredient is best? In autumn 2018 Finnish veterinarians started asking about possible AC poisoning on their social media platform. The typical case was an outdoor cat that returned home wobbling. Officials in Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) notified the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) about the possibility that AC could be causing these poisonings. Tukes conducted an enquiry to Finnish veterinarians about pets’ chemical poisonings in spring 2019. 63 veterinarians reported 96 cases where AC was the suspected toxin. Only a few of these cases concerned dogs.

Mutagenic (M) – Recognised mutagen: comes from a harmonised C&L classifying the substance as Muta. 1A or 1B and/or an entry in the Candidate list. Potential mutagen: comes from a harmonised C&L classifying the substance as a suspected mutagen Muta. 2. Broad agreement: comes from industry data where a majority of data submitters agree the substance is mutagenic. Minority position: comes from industry data where a minority of data submitters indicate the substance is mutagenic. More information about mutagenicity here. Anticoagulant poisons work by preventing the liver from recycling Vitamin K. Vitamin K is essential to make the blood clotting agents which protect from too much bleeding. With enough exposure to anticoagulant internal bleeding occurs which kills the target species. What does the law state about mouse poison? Potential" - again comes from official sources only. Potential concerns are illustrated with a light red icon. For (C), (M), and (R) it means that the concern is suspected in a Harmonised C&L (CLP Regulation Annex VI), as Carc. 2, Muta. 2, or Repr. 2. For (PBT) and (ED) Potential means that the concern is under assessment in the PBT or ED assessment list, and the outcome indicates a potential ED.

If generated, an InChI string will also be generated and made available for searching. This information is only displayed if the substance is well-defined, its identity is not claimed confidential and there is sufficient information available in ECHA’s databases for ECHA’s algorithms to generate a molecular structure. tariff subheadings (6-digit level of the commodity code — sometimes referred to as a Harmonised System ( HS) code) Sustainable control can only be achieved by reducing the rodent carrying capacity of the environment, principally by reducing food and harbourage.

Unless otherwise stated the licence permits authorised persons to carry out the licensable act. An ‘authorised person’ is defined as the owner/occupier or any person authorised by the local authority or by listed officials. Further licences can be issued for the control of other bird species, for example, cormorants at fisheries. Control methods permitted are by shooting, a cage trap or net (hand-propelled). Defra policy is that shooting should be conducted in conjunction with non-lethal measures as part of an overall control strategy. The principle of shooting is to enhance non-lethal methods of deterrence and not

If the substance was not covered by the EC Inventory, ECHA attributes a list number in the same format, starting with the numbers 6, 7, 8 or 9. The quality and correctness of the information submitted to ECHA remains the responsibility of the data submitter. The type of uses and classifications may vary between different submissions to ECHA and for a full understanding it is recommended to consult the source data. Information on applicable regulatory frameworks is also automatically generated and may not be complete or up to date. It is the responsibility of the substance manufacturers and importers to consult official publications, e.g. the electronic edition of the Official Journal of the European Union. All rodenticides which contain anticoagulant activity were limited to professional use only at the beginning of 2018. Instead, homeowners started to use AC-containing rodenticides. Earlier there have been some occasional rumours of AC poisonings in Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands. This only applies to the price paid for the materials. The accounting method utilised for determining the average value of input non-originating materials may be different to the accounting principles adopted by the business for its general accounting purposes.

For rats it’s important to identify areas of activity; faeces are usually a good indicator. Grain or Paste can be placed down burrows. Bait stations can be located along the runs between burrows and likely feeding points. After reading our detailed information on moles you may feel you can manage or tolerate the presence of moles rather than needing to remove them. It can be very difficult for a non-professional to capture moles, so if you have moles that you feel need to be removed, find a professional mole catcher. “Pests” or wild animals in conflict with humans?
