| Abstract/Contents: | "Methyl anthranilate (Rejex-It AG-36) is formulated as a commercial goose repellent. Frequent reapplications of this product are often necessary, and the cost/application is high (≥$300/ha). The present experiment tested the possibility that the repellency of methyl anthranilate might be enhanced by the addition of visual cues. Twelve 0.4 ha plots assigned randomly to three treatment groups. Plots in the first group (n=4) were sprayed with 10% Vapor Guard (an agrochemical adhesive). Plots in the second group (n=4) were treated with a mixture of methyl anthranilate (3.4 kg/ha) and Vapor Guard. Plots in the third group (n=4) were sprayed with a mixture of methyl anthranilate, white paint pigment (titanium oxide, TiO₃, 0.9 kg/l) and Vapor Guard. From 28 November 1994 to 19 December 1995, all plots were visited at 7 day intervals to collect snow goose (Chen caerulescens) droppings along transects. Examination of feces weights/transect meter at 7 days post-treatment showed that both methyl anthranilate formulations reduced goose activity. At 14 and 21 days post-treatment, however dropping weights were significantly lower in plots treated with methyl anthranilate and TiO₃ than in plots treated with formulated methyl anthranilate alone. These results show that visual cues can enhance the durability of methyl anthranilate repellency." |
