Few pesticides are available for non-rodent vertebrate pest control, and
most require special local permits for use. The chemicals which are registered

massive populations of pest birds are used as broadcast applications.
The chemicals used to control vertebrate pests include rodenticides, pis-
cicides (fish), avicides (birds), and predacides (predators).
