Abstrakt: The article discusses the use of broadcast rodenticides as part of a successful multi-year effort to rid Guam's Cocos Island of rats in preparation to release captive-bred endangered Guam rails. It details the development of an integrated eradication plan which involved bio-security, trapping, crap-proof bait stations, bait broadcasting and monitoring.
