The method of stuffing dry ice — frozen carbon dioxide — into burrows to suffocate rats as it sublimates from a solid to a gas proved more efficient at killing rodents and cheaper than using conventional rat poisons in cities such as Boston, Chicago and New York, which all recently launched programs to test the method.
But the Environmental Protection Agency reached out to state agencies in Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and elsewhere in recent months to make clear that federal guidelines prohibit the use of dry ice for rat abatement because the deadly treatment is not registered with the federal agency as required.
William “Buddy” Christopher, who heads Boston’s Inspectional Services Department, said ..“We didn’t see this thing as a pesticide by the classic definition, because dry ice is used everywhere,” Christopher said. “You go to a nightclub and they’ll serve cocktails in a bucket of dry ice. This is not necessarily one of those logical things, it’s a regulatory issue, and we’ll respect everything they want us to do.”
The Boston's legal team is in the process of applying for an EPA permit to restart the program, Christopher said. The city recorded as much as a 95% reduction in rodent activity in areas where it deployed dry ice after it launched the pilot in April.

Mouse and rat poisons in pellet form banned June 13, 2022
All rodenticide bait products marketed to residential consumers must be sold as a block or paste bait, packaged with an EPA-approved bait station. Mouse and rat poisons in pellet form are banned.
Products marketed to residential consumers may contain no more than 1 pound of rodenticide bait. Products marketed to residential consumers will no longer contain the most toxic and persistent pesticide active ingredients: second generation anticoagulants brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, and difethialone.
Products containing these active ingredients will only be available for commercial use and for residential use by professional pest control operators. - https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol/mouse-and-rat-poisons-pellet-form-banned
