Abstract

This study investigated the attractiveness of two vertebrate pest baits (nontoxic RS5 and Pindone-impregnated AgTech) to captive skinks Leiolopisma maccanni. The trial was conducted in January 1995 by the Department of Entomology and Animal Ecology, Lincoln University, for the Department of Conservation.
