A helicopter drops 1080 pellets in the Marlborough Sounds last year.

The Department of Conservation has completed its "Battle for our Birds" pest control at Mt Stanley, in the Marlborough Sounds, and at the Nelson Lakes National Park.

The aerial 1080 pest control carried out around Mt Stanley last month was aimed at protecting vulnerable populations of bush robins, weka, rifleman and giant snails from predator plagues caused by an exceptionally heavy beech mast.

It covered about 4000 hectares in the Tennyson Inlet Scenic Reserve, Nydia Bay Scenic Reserve and Chance, Penguin and Fairy Bay Scenic Reserve.

Monitoring showed rat tracking levels in the area climbed from 4 per cent in February to 36 per cent in May, 61 per cent in August and 94 per cent in November, just before the pest control. Mice were tracking at 82 per cent in the area in November.

In Nelson Lakes rat tracking levels in the park rose from 9 per cent in February to 36 per cent in May and 57 per cent in August.

The success of the 1080 drop is still being assessed.

A DOC spokeswoman said although rat numbers were high, the work was not done earlier because of the availability of helicopters, the need for consents and approvals, and school holidays.

Work around Mt Stanley began on October 10 with an aerial application of non-toxic baits which encouraged rats to eat the cereal baits containing biodegradable 1080 pesticide.

DOC's acting Waitohi/Picton conservation services manager Jo Gould said the work was timed to protect nesting birds so more chicks survived to increase their populations.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) December 15, 2014

Nashville braces for another bug invasion. Each year, as the temperatures drop, bugs begin to seek shelter and warmth inside businesses and residential homes. The bugs that top this years list are ants, wasps, spiders, box elder bugs and stink bugs, according to All-American Pest Control. Fortunately, All-American offers tips on how to keep these bugs from overwintering in Tennessee homes.

Keep your gutters clean and free of debris. Not only will you keep rainwater from making your perimeter soil moist for insect habitation, you'll also get rid of the debris spiders and box elder bugs nest in. Rake leaves up off your lawn, but especially away from your foundation. A rotting blanket of leaves invites bugs to overwinter near your exterior walls. Trim bushes down, get rid of vines, and cut tree branches that come near to your home. Insects and rodents use branches like a highway into your home. Fix leaks in and around your house. Pests are drawn in by moisture and standing water. Fill in any areas near your foundation that collect puddles, and force that water away from your home. Keep food sources protected and cleaned up. Don't leave fruit out, avoid leaving dry dirty dishes in a stack, clean counters and rugs regularly, and pick pet food up after mealtime, instead of leaving it laying in the dish. Keep all trash covered and sealed. Open trash is a food source and a breeding site for all pests.

When the cold weather hits, pests will look to overwinter in homes, and that can be trouble for families. Some species of spiders can cause disfiguring wounds accompanying painful bites. The sting from a wasp can send some into anaphylactic shock. Roaches and other bugs can spread disease and cause asthmatic reactions in many. And, termites, carpenter ants, and other wood chewing insects can do significant damage to homes. With these 6 tips you can help make your home less attractive, and less accessible, to invasive and harmful pests. Get protected, and stay protected, by learning how to exclude bugs and wildlife from your home, with the help of a professional pest control company.
