EPA has provided the following 26 rodenticide study protocols to evaluate studies submitted by rodenticide manufacturers to support new rodenticide baits and tracking powders containing registered active ingredients for use against mice and rats. These only include lab protocols for conducting laboratory efficacy tests, even though the registrant can conduct and submit to EPA other types of tests to support rodenticide efficacy.
The last three study protocols are for evaluating tamper-resistant bait stations sold in consumer rodenticide products.
