Amazon Australia removes harmful rodenticides linked to wildlife and pet deaths.
Amazon Australia is removing second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) from its shelves, following growing concerns over their harm to native wildlife like wedge-tailed eagles, quolls, and pets.
These poisons cause prolonged internal bleeding in rats, increasing the risk of secondary poisoning when predators consume them.
While banned or restricted in the US, Canada, and the EU, SGARs remain widely available in Australian stores.
The federal government’s pesticides regulator is reviewing the chemicals, with a decision expected by year’s end.
Woolworths said it offers alternative pest control methods and urged safe use, while Coles and Bunnings did not comment.
Environmental advocates welcomed the move as a step toward protecting ecosystems and public safety.
