Shrews are small, insect-eating mammals that are highly active and prefer to forage for food at night. They have a high metabolic rate and need to eat frequently to survive. Shrews burrow underground to create nests and hide from predators.

Will De-Con kill shrews?

De-Con is a rodenticide primarily designed to kill rodents like rats and mice. While it is not specifically intended for shrews, there is a possibility that shrews could be affected if they ingest it, as they are small mammals and could potentially consume the bait. However, shrews are not typically targeted in pest control, and the effectiveness and safety of De-Con for non-target species like shrews may vary. It's important to use any pesticide according to the manufacturer's instructions and consider its impact on non-target wildlife.
