Use of Soil Chemical Analysis to Detect Commercial Wildlife Game Baits

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Hunters and poachers often use commercially-available, nutrient-rich baits to attract wildlife game animals. We used atomic absorption spectroscopy and ion selective electrochemical analysis techniques to determine whether two common proprietary baits ...

The evolution of mosquito baiting: from chemical and electronic methods toward AI

Parasites & Vectors
The spread of mosquito-borne diseases is accelerating owing to several factors, including human-made ones. In response, scientists are developing various types of baits, including organic, chemical, and electronic, to lure mosquitoes and monitor, control,

Maximum effect with minimum impact: A new selective control strategy for the Browsing ant Lepisiota frauenfeldi (Formicidae: Formicinae) minimize the impact on non-target species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Early-stage control of invasive ants provides an opportunity to suppress establishment while conserving existing biodiversity. We developed and tested a selective control strategy targeting the Browsing ant Lepisiota frauenfeldi, an emerging omnivorous ...

Field testing of different chemical combinations as odour baits for trapping wild mosquitoes in The Gambia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Odour baited traps have potential use in population surveillance of insect vectors of disease, and in some cases for vector population reduction. Established attractants for human host-seeking mosquitoes include a combination of CO(2) with L-lactic acid ...

Strain variation in feeding response of house flies, Musca domestica, to denatonium benzoate, a bittering agent used in commercial fly baits. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Granular fly baits remain one of the most popular and effective forms of chemical control of house flies (Musca domestica). While these baits contain a sucrose phagostimulant, some also contain the bittering agent denatonium benzoate at 20 or 100 ppm, as
