Use of Strychnine as a Pesticide
OVMA is opposed to the use of strychnine for pest control.
Background:
Humane consideration should be given to the licensing of all pesticides in Canada. The ingestion
of strychnine results in uncontrollable seizures and death by asphyxiation. This is an inhumane
means of pest control.
