In the rather limited literature on mole control, emphasis is placed on trapping as the most efficient means of eliminating the mole. Of secondary value is poisoning : using poisoned bait, poisoned earthworms, or by gassing burrows. The mole-specific term most frequently encountered is "mole toxicant". More usually, "poisons", "baits", and "fumigants" are mentioned during general discussions on mole control. 2, record 2, English, - mole%20toxicant

To control rabies in free-ranging animals, health officials in the 1950s had depended on thinning populations that harbored the offending virus. They tried gassing of dens, poisoning, trapping and shooting, among other tactics... Biologists reviewing some 10 years of experience with population-reduction programs for foxes, skunks and raccoons concluded that to improve the success rate, enormous numbers of animals would have to be killed. Because the species reproduce prolifically, destruction of more than 60 percent of a population would often be required to ensure that eradication of rabies persisted beyond one reproductive cycle... 1, record 9, English, - population%2Dreduction%20program
