Good news! Your support has helped SB26-062, a bill to reduce the use of the most dangerous rodenticides in our state, pass a Senate vote and is now headed to the Colorado House of Representatives to the Agriculture, Water & Natural Resources Committee. Committee members need to hear from Coloradans now to know there is strong public support for this bill.
Introduced in January 2026, SB26-062 offers a smarter path forward. It restricts the sale, use, and application of many rodenticides and promotes safer, more effective pest management practices rooted in Integrated Pest Management.
Wildlife that naturally help regulate rodent populations—including owls, hawks, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and mountain lions—are exposed when they consume contaminated prey. A Colorado Parks and Wildlife study found that 100% of sampled Denver-area coyotes had been exposed to rodenticides.
Rodenticides are also a leading cause of pet poisonings in Colorado, with over 2,100 reported cases between 2020 and 2024. Nearly 70% of human rodenticide exposures nationwide involve children under six.
Urge the committee to support SB26-062 by calling or submitting your comments before March 30.
TAKE ACTION!
