Research led by @EdithCowanUni Associate Professor Robert Davis has contributed to a landmark decision by the federal pesticides regulator @APVMA to ban dangerous rat poisons.

This means that some commonly used rat baits will be taken off shelves at supermarkets and hardware shops, with several major outlets already announcing their intention to halt sales.

Mining company @FortescueNews also looked to research pioneered by Dr Davis and his former PhD student - and now ECU Adjunct Dr Mike Lohr - in its decision to remove second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) from its operations before the AVPMA decision.

"It's rare in science to contribute research that ends up leading regulatory change," Dr Davis said. "I'm just happy that we could be part of the larger movement that lead to this ban."

The USA banned SGARs in 2013 and they are highly restricted in many other parts of the world.

When you're developing your research proposal it's wise to think about a Plan B. Things always go wrong in research. What will you do when things don't go to Plan A. Discuss with your supervisor. #PhDchat #PhDforum #postdoc #ECRchat
