Control of vampire bats is accomplished by capture of individual bats, application of a slow-acting toxicant to the bodies of the individuals, and subsequent release of the treated bats. After release, the bats return to their roosting sites where the toxicant is spread to other vampires, resulting in death of a large percentage of the bats.
Compositions having rodenticidal activity are disclosed which are constituted by a solution of a compound having anti-coagulant activity and which is an indane dione or a 4-hydroxycoumarin, preferably chlorophacinone, diphacinone, bromadiolone or coumachlor, in a glycol in admixture with a volatile co-solvent, preferably acetone or dichloromethane, which increases the solvent activity of the glycol for the anti-coagulant compound. The composition is stable and may be applied to solid or liquid baits or used to form trail poisons.
A method is disclosed for luring attack-prone, rabies-infected mammals (e.g., carnivores, bats) into restraint and/or euthanasia but not luring normal, uninfected animals.
