Existing law exempts the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides from these prohibitions under certain circumstances. Existing law requires the director, and each county agricultural commissioner under the direction and supervision of the director, to enforce the provisions regulating the use of pesticides. A violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.
