Abstract
Abstract Rodenticides applied in an apple orchard and containing zinc phosphide caused a shift in mixed pine (Microtus pinetorum) and meadow (M. pennyslvanicus) vole populations to more pine voles. The anticogulant, chlorophacinone (Rozol-pelleted formulation, CPN) caused a shift to more meadow voles. A lacquered wheat formulation of CPN was as effective as the Rozol-pelleted formulation when broadcast or hand-placed under shingles and appeared to weather better than Rozol. Cholecalciferol (Quintox-pelleted formulation) and one of the zinc phosphide (Ridall-pelleted formulation) formulations were not effective rodenticides. Chemicals used: 2-(p-chlorophenyl) phenylacetyl [-1,3-indanione [Rozol 0.005% chlorophacinone (CPN)]; 3-[3-(4’-bromo[1,1’-biphenyl]-4-y)-3-hydroxy-l-phenylpropyl]-4-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one [Maki 0.005% Bromodialone (BDL)]; cholecalciferol [Quintox 0.075% Vitamin D3 (vit D3)]; Zn3P2 pellet zinc phosphide [ZP Rodent Bait AG —2%, W-ZP Rodent Bait AG Zinc phosphide (ZnP)].
