This is the second time (in two years) that they have done it. It is quite ingenious. The mice are laced with Acetaminophen, which is really just Tylenol. It is harmless to humans but will kill the snakes, who are very sensitive to it.

Any idea how effective it was the 1st time?

Apparently not effective enough

If you have read anything about the brown tree snake in Guam, it is a serious problem that one, two or even a dozen drops of poisoned mice isn't going to fix. It is going to take years of sustained effort to manage the population. I believe the goal now is not to eradicate them, because that would be too difficult, but to keep them from migrating to Hawaii.

How does acetaminophen affect birds and other creatures that eat mice? I know it can kill dogs. I got spammed too bad when I tried to click the link to actually read the news story (assuming there was more than a headline and picture).

The article mentioned that the impact on birds will be minimal, as the brown tree snake has killed so many of them already.
