​

The R.M. of Antler is now included in the emergency use of strychnine to control Richardson Ground Squirrels. Currently, there is no stock of strychnine available for distribution in Canada. It is expected to take approximately six to eight weeks to import the active ingredient, manufacture the 2% liquid strychnine concentrate and distribute product across Saskatchewan. This means it could be late summer or early fall before we see any stock of Strychnine.   If you have any questions please contact the R.M. Office.
