The European Commission wants to ban rodenticides for mice. Households can no longer use poison against mice. Use traps to catch mice. Poison can still be used against rats.
Poisons are dangerous. They can cause cancer. Poisons can also harm other animals. For example, cats and dogs can become ill.
In the future, stores will have different poisons. Poison for mice will not be sold. Poison for rats can be bought. Poisons will be labeled differently.
The new rules may come into effect next year.
