Do you use professional rodenticides?
Take part in the National Rodent Control Survey and be entered into a prize draw for a £50 voucher.
The survey is being administered by the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), an industry-led partnership that runs the UK Rodenticide Stewardship Regime.
CRRU which aims to reduce the risk that rat and mouse poisons pose to wildlife, including birds of prey like barn owls and red kites that eat poisoned rodents.
This survey is to gauge Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice (KAP) for those that use professional rodenticide. Please answer the questions honestly; responses are confidential.
The survey closes on 31 October 2026.
