APVMA Anticoagulant Rodenticides Reconsideration Update

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) announced a reconsideration of anticoagulant rodenticides in November 2021. Their proposed decision following this review was released in December 2025, after which a 6-week consultation period commenced with product registrants, relevant state and territory authorities, and industry stakeholders.
