Compound 1080 was also effective against jackrabbits, foxes, and moles. Baits containing 0.05 to 0.1% 1080 on vegetables were used in California to kill jackrabbits (Lepus spp.) and various rodents (Schitoskey 1975). The Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), intentionally introduced onto the Aleutian Islands in 1835 (Bailey 1993), almost eliminated the Aleutian Canada goose (Branta canadensis leucoparlia) by 1967. 1080-tallow baits were successfully used to control fox populations (Byrd et al. 1988 Tietjen et al. 1988 Bailey 1993). Earthworm baits are used to kill moles. The earthworms are soaked for 45 min in a 2.5% solution of 1080 and placed in mole burrows. The solution can be used several times for additional lots of worms however, the use of the manure worm (Eisenia foetida) should be avoided because it is seldom eaten by moles (Peacock 1964).

Commercially, methyl anthranilate (trade name ReJeX-iT AG-36) is used to repel red-winged blackbirds, Agdaiusphoeniceus, from feeding on rice seed (Avery etal, 1995). This species avoidedmethiocarb-poisoned apples additional chemical (methyl anthranilate) and visual (calcium carbonate) cues enhanced the avoidance response. This way the amount of the toxin methiocarb could be reduced and yet still be equally effective and at lower cost (Mason, 1989). Canada geese (Branta canadensis) also feed less on grass treated with methyl anthranilate (Cummings etal, 1995).

Strontium-90 behaves much hke calcium in the biological environment. In birds, °Sr is expected to occur in bone and in the calcium-rich eggshell. In one case, a positive relation was demonstrated between reactor releases of °Sr to the Columbia River and °Sr concentrations in reed canary grass Phalaris arundinacea) and eggshells of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis moffitti) (Rickard and Price 1990).
