Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method was developed to evaluate the responses of groups of wild Norway rats to bait stations. Groups of rats were first acclimated to test arenas of 5.6 m2 which each contained abundant harborage in the form of a covered pallet, drain pipes, and masonry blocks. Activity levels were measured daily by four methods: bait consumption, tracks, fecal counts, and motion detector (actimeter) counts. When activity had stabilized, one bait station containing an attractive nontoxic food and additional actimeters were added to each arena. Daily observations revealed changes in activity around the exterior of stations, time until entry, and the initiation and quantity of consumption of the station bait (unpoisoned EPA meal). In tests using the protocol, replicated comparisons were made of eight "tamper-proof" bait stations having various degrees of design complexity. In general, simpler designs showed more rapid and greater utilization and bait consumption. The method has application to evaluations with house mice and for studies of toxic baits in particular station designs.

Download or read book Rodent Pests and Their Control 2nd Edition written by Alan P Buckle and published by CABI. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most numerous of the world's invasive species, rodent pests have a devastating impact on agriculture, food, health and the environment. In the last two decades, the science and practice of rodent control has faced new legislation on rodenticides, the pests' increasing resistance to chemical control and the impact on non-target species, bringing a new dimension to this updated 2nd edition and making essential reading for all those involved in rodent pest control, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners and public health specialists.

Download or read book A Re Evaluation of Potential Rodenticides for Aerial Control of Rodents written by Charles T. Eason and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodent control is carried out extensively in New Zealand to protect the native fauna and flora. This review outlines the advantages and disadvantages of different rodenticides as alternatives to sodium fluoroacetate (1080), and their suitability for aerial application. It includes existing rodenticides and those in the registration "pipeline," as well as those that are not currently available in New Zealand. In the short to medium term, the focus for aerial baits should be on those compounds already registered in New Zealand or other countries. Aerial brodifacoum baiting is appropriate in isolated situations, but is not suitable for repeated use on the mainland, as brodifacoum is highly persistent and will bioaccumulate. Diphacinone has been registered for field use in New Zealand and the US Environmental Protection Agency has recently registered it for aerial control of rodents for conservation purposes; therefore, this is a logical first choice for control in New Zealand. Cholecalciferol is the next best option, as there is no secondary poisoning and thus there would be lower risk to non-target bird species; this is currently registered for field use as a rodenticide in bait stations. The third option is cholecalciferol in combination with coumatetralyl, which should be more effective than cholecalciferol alone, and the fourth is zinc phosphide. In the longer term, the preferred alternative to 1080 would be a novel, humane red blood cell toxin, related to para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP). PAPP is an attractive new pesticide that is being developed for stoat (Mustela erminea) and feral cat (Felis catus) control; however, the rodenticidal potential of this class of compounds still remains to be determined. Availability and registration status could influence this priority list in the future. A strategy to manage mice (Mus musculus) and sustain rat (Rattus spp.) control needs to be flexible and integrate non-anticoagulant and anticoagulant use.
