National Park Service — Wildlife Safety Reminder-Rodenticide Kills Wildlife and Pets

Grand Canyon Residents, Partners, and Community Members,

As a reminder, rodenticides (rodent poisons) are prohibited in Grand Canyon National Park and in all park residences. Recently, a bobcat in the South Rim Village was found deceased as a result of high levels of rodenticide poisoning.

These poisons cause harm to wildlife, pets, and humans and can contaminate the environment. Keeping residences and buildings sanitary, uncluttered, and consistently setting snap traps is the most effective way to control rodents.

Free rodent clean-up kits are available for check-out that will help you safely address rodents in your home or workplace.
