Trial of poisonous gases and Baits against Porcupines
M. Ismail Chaudhry and Ashiq Ahmad
ABSTRACT
Phostoxin used at the rate of 2 to 3 tablets in hills and 5
tablets in plain areas per burrow gave 100% mortality of
porcupines. Cyanogas A dust applied at the rate of 225
grams in hilly areas and 450 grams in plains gave 50%
kill of porcupines hence required 2 to 3 repeated
treatments for complete control. Potassium cyanide
applied to apples in cuts at the rate of one gram also
proved very effective. Poison baits prepared with Zinc
phosphide, sevin and Recumin were not eaten at all.
