Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Dr. Vera Krischik Department of Entomology University of Minnesota

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Learning objectives How certain vertebrates can become pest problems. Control vertebrates w/o endangering nontarget organisms. Use references to continue professional growth.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Terms to know Game species/small game species: A vertebrate that is hunted by people for sport.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Introduction Rodents and wildlife are generally are not the magnitude of problem as weeds, insects disease, weather. This chapter is a guideline to determine if a vertebrate is a pest. How to control the pest.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Mobility: May spend most of their time in area away from crop. Unpredictably: Many factors, population density, weather, availability of food, influence transition from harmless vertebrate population into pest. Public perception: Most large vertebrates as gees and deer are held in esteem by public. Efforts to control creates social problems.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Legal status: Most species have state or federal laws on protection. Control techniques: Broadcast chemical controls will not be available due to legal status or environmental contamination. Most common pests: Meadow mice, voles, ground squirrels, moles, skunks, raccoons. Rabbit (game species), deer (game species)

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Rabbit (game species) can be controlled by landowners on their property. Deer (game species) Need to contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Moles like mice, but no tail; velvety fur, huge digging feet Eat worms, insects, and grubs Two species in MN: Eastern, common, prairie mole (Eastern) and star-nose mole (N) Deer (game species) Need to contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Moles burrow in tunnels in lawns and golf courses. Tunnels 6-18 in below ground interfere with mowing; are home to moles and mice. Control grubs will reduce mole numbers. Poison baits and fumigants are not effective. Traps work the best.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Meadow mice are a winter problem and girdle trees and roots, killing them. Populations are very high some years. Look for droppings, sightings, catches of food, trinkets.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Habitat destruction, mouse guards (hardware cloth submerged into soil), trapping, repellents (fungicide thiram), and poison bait (zinc phosphide )for control. Always use bait stations to prevent nontarget effects on other organisms.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control 13-lined ground squirrel, 2-8 per acre, small population size Small areas use traps. Large areas maybe use poison baits. Rodenticides w/ zinc phosphide, anticoagulants, or other rodenticides. No repellents are registered. Contact the DNR first

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Rabbits in winter browse on bark. Remove brush piles, stone and trash heaps, and other refuge. No chemicals are registered. Live traps and removal. Can use tree guards, extend below snow line into the soil.

Manual E, Chapter 7: Vertebrates Factors affecting control Deer damage plants Devices, repellents, fences; hunting during season. Contact repellents: Bone tar oil and Magic circle; Area repellents: Human hair Fences; Wire and electric Contact the DNR first
