Brown treesnake bait station USDA (9598905971)

Description:

Description: In 2001, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) began integrating the use of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in many over-the-counter pain medications) in its efforts to control the brown tree snake. WS’ research has shown acetaminophen to be an effective oral toxicant for the brown tree snake. An 80-milligram dose placed inside a dead mouse is used in baiting stations on Guam.
