[MAIPC] FW: Beyond the Herd: Bison's Impact

Sat Jun 11 08:13:04 PDT 2016

Targeted biocontrol: Though pesticide-free gardening should always be the goal, people with serious tick problems may want to consider limited use of the new biopesticide Met52. Containing live spores of the native fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, it is lethal to ticks but nontoxic to bees and birds. After two years of testing in residential landscapes, entomologist Kirby Stafford has found that, when used in conjunction with the rodent- treatment boxes, spraying Met52 in late spring and early summer to kill tick nymphs has reduced the abundance of black-legged ticks by more than 78 percent—a rate approaching that achieved by synthetic pesticides.

  <http://online.nwf.org/images/content/pagebuilder/pix.gif> 

Wildlife from magpies to pronghorn depend on our national mammal, the majestic bison. Bison clear snow for pronghorn to reach grass in the winter, and create habitat for prairie dogs.
