What are the immediate consequences of potentially banning over-the-counter rodenticides in Germany?

The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) is considering not renewing the license for the sale of rodenticides to private individuals. This decision has prompted warnings from industry associations and companies of a potential rat infestation, citing the significant health risks posed by rats. The BAuA counters that pest control professionals, who can still use rodenticides, and other trained personnel can manage infestations.
