W.S. Wood G.H. Rodda R. L. Bruggers R.M. Engeman P.J. Savarie 2005 <p>The effectiveness of methyl bromide as a fumigant for brown treesnake (<i>Boiga irregularis</i>) management was evaluated on Guam. Eighteen snakes in secured cloth bags were randomly positioned in a 47.7-m³ tarpaulin-covered cargo container for each fumigation treatment. Methyl bromide treatments tested were: 24&nbsp;g&nbsp;m⁻³ and and 12&nbsp;g&nbsp;m⁻³, both for 2-h and 1-h exposures. All treatments, except for 12&nbsp;g&nbsp;m⁻³ for 1&nbsp;h, resulted in 100% mortality. Two-hour exposures to methyl bromide at 24 and 12&nbsp;g&nbsp;m⁻³ appear to be effective in killing brown treesnakes within reasonable time-frames for shippers under Guam field conditions.</p> application/pdf 10.1016/j.ibiod.2005.04.001 en Elsevier Effectiveness of methyl bromide as a cargo fumigant for brown treesnakes article
