Squill Shortage Forces Switch to Red Squill and Barium
War disrupted Mediterranean squill exports. Extension entomologist John Longstreet reports most wholesale drug concerns have no squill and supplies may not return until mid summer. Red squill is recommended for rat poisoning as it is safer for humans and livestock, but many stores lack it or price is high. Barium carbonate remains primary poison on farms, though hazardous to animals and people. Farm Bureau records on proper use are available. Gordonaville resident Galen Quajn fell 19 feet from a hay mow with minor injuries.
