Our voices need to be consistent, persistent, and louder than the opposition. Our best chance to reduce the use of anticoagulant rodent poisons across the state is for the Conference Committee tasked with reconciling the House and Senate versions of the Mass Ready Act <https://web.massaudubon.org/site/R?i=zRoraDzJhEFYY_-dNpi6AxTUJYhDCHE23pTGpAC9IAEfj_pjOORq0w> (S.3064) to include Sections 74 and 75 of the Senate bill. Sections 74 and 75 state that cities and towns would be able to ban anticoagulant rodenticides as bylaws or ordinances within their municipal borders, including private property. This would be a gamechanger for the way pest control companies operate and would provide a path for municipal campaigns to make a difference in their communities. Because the House and Senate passed different versions of the same bill, a Conference Committee was appointed to sort out the differences. The Conference Committee is a temporary group of three representatives and three senators who will decide on the final version this fall. Take Action Sign on to this petition before September 30 to tell the Conference Committee we want to phase out the use of anticoagulant rodent poisons in Massachusetts.
