First generation anticoagulant rodenticide persistence in large mammals and implications for wildlife management
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2013)
The use of first generation anticoagulants by the Department of Conservation (DOC) for rodent control has increased in recent years. This study estimates the likely hepatic persistence time of diphacinone in red deer, pigs ...
Trends in the development of mammalian pest control technology in New Zealand
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2017)
Rodenticide and vertebrate pesticide registrations have declined worldwide over the last 30 years. New Zealand has not followed this trend, instead retaining essential toxins and traps, improving their use and exploring ...
Primary poisoning risk for encapsulated sodium nitrite, a new tool for pest control
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2017)
Acute toxicity of sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) was assessed in chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) and domestic mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domestica) by oral gavage and in free-feeding trials with chickens, domestic mallard ...
How long do vertebrate pesticides persist in living mammals? Priorities for research
(Department of Conservation, 2013)
We review the pharmacokinetic literature for 12 vertebrate pesticides available (or in the registration process) for broad-scale use in New Zealand and summarise their likely persistence in sub lethally exposed animals. ...
Low-dose cholecalciferol bait for possum and rodent control
(Taylor & Francis Online on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2012-09)
A new low-concentration formulation of Feracol® paste containing 0.4% concentration cholecalciferol was tested for efficacy against possums in cage trials, and against possums and rodents in a single unreplicated field ...
Control and eradication of feral cats: field trials of a new toxin
(IUCN, Gland, Switzerland and Centre for Biodiversity and Biosecurity (CBB), Auckland, New Zealand, 2011)
Feral cats (Felis catus) have caused the decline and extinction of threatened species on islands worldwide.
The eradication or long-term control of cats is therefore an essential part of restoring native communities on ...
Innovative developments for long-term mammalian pest control
(John Wiley and Sons, 2014-03)
Background: Invasive mammalian pests have inflicted substantial environmental and economic damage on a worldwide scale. RESULTS: Over the last 30 years there has been minimal innovation in the development of new control ...
An updated review of the toxicology and ecotoxicology of sodium fluoroacetate (1080) in relation to its use as a pest control tool in New Zealand
(New Zealand Ecological Society., 2011)
Sodium fluoroacetate (1080) is a vertebrate pesticide, originally developed in the 1940s and principally
used for the control of unwanted introduced animals in New Zealand and Australia. Fluoroacetate is also a
toxic ...
Effectiveness of cyanide pellets for control of dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii)
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2011)
Dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii) are an introduced pest in New Zealand requiring control. Historically, sodium fluoroacetate (1080) has been used to control wallabies but there is increasing resistance
to this method of ...
Progressing the possum pied piper project
(University of California, 2012)
Improving vertebrate pest control operations relies on increasing pest animal interactions with control devices (e.g., bait stations, bait bags, and/or traps). Interactions are encouraged using a variety of baits and lures ...
