Brown tree snake aerial bait cartridges

Newly designed aerial bait cartridges consist of dead mice with 80-mg acetaminophen tablets and a biodegradable streamer-like cartridge. The cartridge is designed to snag on trees where invasive brown tree snakes are known to feed. The cartridge and automated aerial bait delivery system were designed by Applied Design Corporation engineers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services researchers on Guam in July 2016.
