[PDF][PDF] Use of acetaminophen for large-scale control of brown treesnakes
Because the brown treesnake (Boiga irregularis) has virtually extirpated the avifauna on
Guam and is a threat to other Pacific islands, the development of alternative and efficient
control methods is required. Therefore, we performed a large-scale field experiment to
determine whether the acetaminophen baits we developed could be used to reduce
population levels of brown treesnakes on Guam. Toxic baits were made by inserting 80 mg
of acetaminophen into dead neonatal mice, and these mouse baits were used to treat plots …
