| Abstract/Contents: | "Two formulations of methyl anthranilate (MA), one (ReJex-iT^D]T^D]M TP-40 [TP-40]) containing a surfactant, the other (ReJex-iT^D]T^D]M AP-50 [AP-50]) a miscible, free-flowing powder, effectively repelled captive mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) from pools of water in pen tests, and/or free-ranging gulls (Larus delawarensis and L. argentatus) from pools of water in field trials for 4-11 days. With one exception, pool entries and bill contacts with water were reduced (p ≤ 0.02) in pools treated with both formulations compared with untreated pools. Overall gull activity was reduced (p ≤ 0.01) when all available water was treated with AP-50. Effectiveness of TP-40 (v/v) was similiar to the previously reported effectiveness of powdered formulations where MA concentrations were 1.6-3.0 times (g/g) greater, a consequence of the surfactant concentrating MA at the surface. These tests indicate that MA-based formulations might have utility at airports and perhaps other locations where it is desirable to reduce bird activity in temporary pools of water." |
