US dropped 2,000 paracetamol mice on Guam to kill 3M invasive snakes in $8M operation

Following the brown tree snakes' invasion of Guam, the island faced serious environmental harm and frequent power outages. In response, scientists devised a creative method involving dead mice treated with acetaminophen to address the snake issue. This method proved effective in obstructing their haemoglobin function, drastically reducing their numbers. A trial airdrop confirmed the bait's success, prompting further evaluation and potential expansion of this promising control technique.
