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 ...
Trends in vertebrate pesticide use and new developments: New Zealand initiatives and international implications
(University of California, 2010)
In New Zealand, sodium fluoroacetate (1080) has been used for vertebrate pest control for several decades. Since the 1990s, some 1080 users have switched to brodifacoum for possum and rodent control because of its ready ...
Vertebrate pesticide risk assessment by indigenous communities in New Zealand
(Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Society of Zoological Sciences, Institute of Zoology, and Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2010-03)
In New Zealand, the vertebrate pesticide sodium fluoroacetate (Compound 1080) is aerially applied in baits for control of the brush-tailed possum Trichosurus vulpecula (Kerr, 1792). Maori, the indigenous people of New ...
Cost effectiveness and efficacy of ground-control techniques for pest-control in New Zealand
(University of California, 2010)
The brushtail possum, introduced to New Zealand in 1858, is a significant conservation pest and a major vector of bovine tuberculosis. Previous control-simulation studies have suggested that aerial delivery of bait containing ...
Retaining or retrieving older and trying to identify novel rodenticides
(University of California, 2012)
Anticoagulant compounds are likely to play an important role in the control of commensal rodents for crop protection and conservation for the foreseeable future. However, there are concerns regarding their persistence and ...
Technology advances for vertebrate pest eradication
(University of California, Davis, USA, 2016)
Internationally, over the last 20 years the number of tools available for the control of small mammals has declined. Through the efforts of research we have bucked this trend and retained and developed new tools. Three new ...
