Agricultural mouse bait is allegedly the culprit in a number of suspected poisonings after incorrectly being used indoors.
THE NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is moving to swiftly minimise further damage from the off-label use of agricultural mouse bait in domestic situations.
The unregistered use of the MouseOfff bait had disastrous consequences, with people hospitalised due to suspected poisoning from phosphine gas produced by the zinc phosphide-based bait, with the product especially dangerous to children.
The EPA said it would help all people that have used MouseOff inside their house to remove and dispose of it.
