“…Whether a compound is irritating to snakes or any other taxa will depend upon intrinsic biological factors, ie similarity of chemical structures,48, 49 receptor specificity,50 concentration51 and integration of neural input to form the perception of irritancy 52. Thus, there may be some compounds that are perceived as irritating for birds, mammals and reptiles, eg cinnamaldehyde 2. 53 Alternatively, there are compounds that are irritating to only one taxon, or are mutually irritating to two taxonomic classes, but not to a third.…”

“…53 Alternatively, there are compounds that are irritating to only one taxon, or are mutually irritating to two taxonomic classes, but not to a third. For example, cinnamic acid and capsaicin are potent mammalian irritants, but they do not have such an effect for the brown treesnake or birds 2. Pulegone is a potent mammalian and bird irritant but is ineffective against the brown treesnake 54.…”

“…A review of the US EPA Pesticide Database shows that 41% of these compounds function as lethal control agents, while 59% were considered to be non‐lethal control agents, ie repellents. Fewer chemical agents ( n = 10) are available for bird control: 40% of these agents are used for lethal control, while 60% are used in non‐lethal control products 2. Rarer still are agents available for control of reptiles ( n = 2).…”

Chemical irritants useful as repellents for brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) were identi®ed. Exposure to various compounds produced a range of intensities for locomotory behavior in snakes. Essential oils comprised of 10 g liter À1 solutions of cedarwood, cinnamon, sage, juniper berry, lavender and rosemary each were potent snake irritants. Brown treesnakes exposed to a 2-s burst of aerosol of these oils exhibited prolonged, violent undirected locomotory behavior. In contrast, exposure to a 10 g liter À1 concentration of ginger oil aerosol caused snakes to locomote, but in a deliberate, directed manner. We also tested speci®c compounds, all derivative of food and¯avor ingredients. 10 g liter À1 solutions delivered as aerosols of m-anisaldehyde, trans-anethole, cineole, cinnamaldehyde, citral, ethyl phenylacetate, eugenol, geranyl acetate or methyl salicylate all acted as potent irritants for brown treesnakes. The individual ingredients were classi®ed using cluster analysis into groups that promoted different levels of response by snakes. This study is the ®rst to systematically investigate the irritant potential of natural products for snakes. These data will be useful in the development of practical pest management tools for snakes.

“…Pathogens linked by PFGE. However, in reality, it is not practical to exclude all wild birds from large agro-ecosystems, though it is feasible using integrated pest management approaches to limit populations for smaller areas (Avery, 1989;Mason andClark, 1992, 1996;Clark, 1998). It is also not practical or economical to exclude birds from large agricultural fields.…”

The palatability to captive, mostly laboratory-bred, Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) of cereal-based baits containing 0.02 g kg-1 brodifacoum, with and without bird-repellent additives, was compared in a no-choice experimental design. Methyl anthranilate (25 g kg-1), dimethyl anthranilate (25 g kg-1) and cinnamamide (2.5 g kg-1) reduced bait consumption by the rats, but all except one rat ate enough bait to receive a lethal dose. Cinnamamide (1 g kg-1), ortho-aminoacetophenone (0.1 g kg-1) and tannic acid (20 g kg-1) did not reduce bait consumption and all rats died after eating baits. The concentration of cinnamamide palatable to rats has only a low and short-lived repellency to birds, so it does not warrant further investigation. However, ortho-aminoacetophenone and tannic acid should now be field-tested for palatability to all three rat species in New Zealand and for repellency to native New Zealand birds.
