Strychnine Update

🚨– RM of Swift Current No.137
The RM has opted in to distribute styrchnine for Richardson’s ground squirrel control under the new Emergency Use Registration.
Product is NOT available yet – it is set to be coming for the late-summer 2026 application window (July 15-Sept 1). But there are things you can start doing now so you’re ready when it arrives:
✅If you have land in more than one participating RM, you’ll need to pick ONE eligible RM to purchase from
✅Complete the mandatory 90 minutes online training through SARM (sarm.ca/strychnine-stewardship-training)- required before purchase. After completion it takes up to 2 days to be on list for the municipality to view.
✅Start putting together your treatment plan: legal land description, estimated acres, integrated pest management strategies you’ve used in the last 24 months. Click here:  Treatment Plan and Declaration Form 
✅ Contact the Municipality after completion of training and hand in the Treatment and Declaration form
We’ll post another update once product is in and ready for pickup. Full program details: Saskatchewan.ca/RGS-Control
