Which product cannot be used if the customer has chickens?

• A. Granulation
• B. Peanut Butter
• C. Provoke Mouse Attractant
• D. Glueboards

Answer: (A)

When animals are present, especially free-ranging chickens, you have to consider how a product could be eaten or otherwise exposed to non-targets. Granular baits are spread on the ground and are easy for chickens to peck up. If a chicken ingests the granules, which may contain rodenticides or insecticides, it can suffer serious illness or death. Because of this direct exposure risk, using granulated products in yards where chickens roam is not appropriate. The other options don’t pose the same direct, unavoidable risk to chickens in the same way. Peanut butter is simply a bait used inside traps and can be used in a setup that keeps it inaccessible to birds if positioned correctly. A mouse attractant is a lure meant to draw rodents and isn’t inherently poisonous to chickens when used as directed. Glueboards are physical traps that could trap a chicken if it came into contact with them, but with proper placement and avoidance of accessible areas for birds, they’re not automatically disallowed by the presence of chickens. The key idea is to avoid products that introduce a direct poisoning risk to poultry, like granular baits.
