Strychnine 2026 – training information
** UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2026 – We received this message from our supplier:
Despite all our efforts this summer, we were unable to secure enough raw materials to produce and distribute 2% LSC to all municipalities. This was unfortunate for everyone involved. We are securing a shipment that is expected to arrive by the end of November, and we are also scheduling another shipment for January. With these two shipments, we expect to be able to fulfill all orders we currently have. There should be no concern about supply shortages at this time. We will ship throughout the winter months to locations that can accommodate the product in climate-controlled storage areas. We will continue to distribute product during the spring months to all other municipalities.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have developed guidelines and requirements pertaining to the access to, use, and application of strychnine to control Richardsonʼs ground squirrels. Completing prescribed training is required as one of the eligibility requirements. Please see links below for training.
Product is not expected to be ready until summer.
2026 Strychnine Stewardship Training Registration Guide Final
Strychnine Stewardship Training SARM Saskatchewan Association Of Rural Municipalities
Strychnine information – April 9, 2026
Dear SARM Members,
As you know, the province sent a formal request to the federal government last week to expand the eligible areas in Saskatchewan, so they better align with regions experiencing significant Richardson’s ground squirrel populations. As a result, the Emergency Use Registration has been expanded to allow a broader range of Saskatchewan rural municipalities access to two per cent liquid strychnine for integrated pest management of Richardson’s ground squirrels until November 2027.
| We recognize that, even with an expanded map, some areas of the province with Richardson’s ground squirrel issues will still not have access to strychnine under this Emergency Use Registration. Limiting the geographic scope was a requirement by the Pesticide Regulatory Directorate (formerly Pest Management Regulatory Agency or PMRA) to reduce the risk.
In RMs without access to strychnine, the province has committed to continue to support Richardson’s ground squirrel management through:
At this time, there are no stocks of strychnine available for distribution in Canada. The registrant is expected to require approximately six to eight weeks to import the active ingredient, manufacture the 2 per cent liquid strychnine concentrate, and distribute product across Saskatchewan and Alberta. This means, for the 2026 season, strychnine may not be available until the late summer application window Mid-July after green material starts drying down). If strychnine is available before the spring application window closes the Ministry of Agriculture will communicate through SARM to RMs that have expressed interest and completed required training in time. Once logistics are finalized with the distributor, details on the provincial stewardship program and the required user training will be shared through SARM and your local RM later this spring. The Ministry of Agriculture will continue to work with SARM to advocate for longer term access to strychnine in areas where justified by producer need, while supporting safeguards that protect species at risk and other non‑target wildlife. If you have questions in the meantime, for the quickest response, please contact: [email protected] On behalf of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture
