Great Britain HSE Technical Report On GB MCL Acute Toxicity For Chlorophacinone

In April 2026 the UK Health and Safety Executive issued an Article 37 technical report confirming very high acute toxicity classifications and ATE values for chlorophacinone under the GB CLP Regulation, while recommending that its existing reproductive, repeated-exposure and aquatic hazard categories in the GB MCL entry are retained. Although the updated mandatory GB MCL entry reflecting these ATEs has not yet been adopted, the report signals that GB suppliers of chlorophacinone-based rodenticide products should expect a binding classification aligned with the RAC opinion and prepare for mixture reclassification and label and SDS updates once the decision is finalised.

New Hampshire Senate Refers HB1676 Rodenticide Sales Bill to Interim Study

In May 2026 the New Hampshire Senate voted to refer HB1676, a bill that would restrict consumer access to several high-risk rodenticide active ingredients, to interim study rather than advancing it this session.

Germany Reports Rising Quantities of Second-Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides

Germany’s federal government has published a 22 April 2026 reply revealing steadily rising notified quantities of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide biocides between 2021 and 2025, while reiterating that these products are PBT, reproductive toxicants, and subject to strict authorisation and user-competence requirements. For pest control suppliers and agricultural users, this signals heightened regulatory scrutiny of high-risk rodenticides under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation and German law, reinforcing the need to maintain compliant quantity reporting, ensure trained professional users, and prepare for potential tighter EU restrictions on anticoagulant baiting.

Colorado Senate Advances Bill 26-062 To Restrict Retail Use Of Second-Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides

Colorado’s Senate has advanced Bill 26-062, which would classify second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides containing brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum or difethialone as restricted-use pesticides for retail sales, with restrictions applying from July 2027. If enacted, this will push most SGAR products into licensed applicator channels, requiring pesticide suppliers and retailers to tighten access controls and raising enforcement risk for non-compliant rodent-control uses in Colorado.
