Rodenticides Labeled for Use to Control Meadow Voles and Pocket Gophers Updated June 13, 2016 ALWAYS read and follow the instructions printed on the pesticide label. The pesticides listed in these tables are currently registered with Idaho State Department of Agriculture. Pesticide labels change frequently and may have changed since this was written, therefore, check the current label to be sure it is registered for use. Products that are labeled as “Restricted Use” require an Idaho Pesticide Applicators License to purchase and apply. “General Use” products can be purchased and used by the general public 18 years and older. “General Use” products can be found in a variety of retail businesses, such as home improvement stores, farm stores, retail greenhouse businesses, and grocery stores. ATTENTION: If the product label lists any “commensal rodents” (Norway rat, roof rat, or house mouse), labels will have specific directions for use and location of bait stations, and product quantity allowed. Some, not all, of the products listed on these tables have commensal rodents listed on the labels. Be sure to thoroughly read and follow all label directions.
