Document Description
Reduce the large Norway rat population in and around camping and day use locations at Samuel P. Taylor State Park. An anticoagulant rodenticide will be installed in bait stations in a manner that ensures that the rats must consume it within the stations. The stations will be secured to the ground and will be placed in dense vegetation adjacent to campground and day use locations. The bait stations will be tamper resistant and designed to allow access by rats and smaller rodents only. The stations will be in place for approximately 6 months, starting in April 2004. This treatment poses some level of threat to non-target wildlife that may access the bait stations but the impact to any specific population will not be significant. Secondary poisoning of wildlife will not be a threat. The treatment will not expose park users to toxic substances. Park staff will immediately remove any animal carcasses found with public use areas.
