Fantastic presentations on modern rodent control technique by @MateoFrye and @sylvia_kenmuir this morning for NEPMA's Fall training series. Effective exclusion and baiting alternatives should be in every PMP's toolbox 🐀🐭

This is the state of urban ecology in Raleigh 2022, geese forage on the little islands of grass in the shopping center and then sleep on the roof of big box store at nigh, instead of lakes. @leafwarbler @FancyScientist @sciencecomedian @brianoshea12 @naturalsciences

In cushy labs rat may live 24-36 mo. But in wild (cities) life is hard (seen here) w/high stress till death 7-12 mo. "Black rats dreading brown rats & both dreading humans. Outside & away from nests rats exist on the edge of hysteria." 🙄🐀🪓😬J.Mitchell (1944). D. French Pix.

The ecology/evolution/zoonotic potential of rats in Richmond, VA is essentially a blank slate - there’s been no study of them since the 1940s (that I’ve found). Excited for this project:

'Tis the season for #roadkill. Young animals are setting out to establish new territories. Found this subadult female #bobcat killed on a road within my study area near the @hhnaturemuseum. Sad, but provided a tissue sample for #genetics work.

I want to believe that child was misbehaving and dad is bringing them home for a good talking to. I think its more like a midnight snack though....

[Roland Kays @RolandKays]

Fishers reclaiming Rhode Island is a sign the wildlife can adapt and move into lost territory if we protect even a small amount of habitat and find ways to connect it.

Stink bug season is officially here. While stink bug populations are most problematic in the north east, they can be found in almost every U.S. state as well as Canada and Mexico. Click here to browse professional stink bug management products >> https://t.co/FOIi9svOCB

Three years ago this month, we completed the translocation of pine martens to mid-Wales from Scotland. We released 51 martens to secure a viable future for the species in Wales. We continue to monitor the expansion of the population and sometimes rewarded with videos like this!

I've been #cameratrapping for a long time, but never captured this before. This happened near a highway that we are assessing for its resistance to #animal #movement. The #deer seems to have gotten away as the #coyote returned 2 hours later looking tired... Ouch!

Mustelid dad jokes are the reason I'm on Twitter:

Covid-time rats ? Rats normally use bushcover/landscapes to hide burrows. But city inspectors say they r seeing more stressed /hungry rats (?) moving into ANY available earth nearby eateries & setting up highly visible & unprotected homes...hmmm 🐀🐀🧐

Beavers are rodents. The Word “rodent”= to gnaw. A rodent’s front incisors are always growing, and if not worn down, will lead to what this beaver was dealing with. Starvation or brain penetration were imminent (📸 Maine Trappers Assoc) #FurbearerConservation #RodentFacts #Nature

Anyone else going “batty” this year? Myself and other #NewHampshire wildlife pros are seeing an uptick in bat activity! Which is both good for business and our important bat populations. I’d like to see more Little Browns tho... #wildlifecontrol #pestcontrol @BatConIntl #bats
