I've noticed a news video showing an interesting new environmentally benign
weapon used against cats in the USA.

Short video showing dramatic effects.

Agree there Greg
Both NZ and British experiments have shown that privately owned cats
roam up to 3 km and take prey at that distance from the home they
live in. In the NZ study it was two farm cats that finished off the
rabbits in an experimental exclosure, after the wild predators gave
up after reducing the rabbit (live bait) numbers to about 8.
It is wild cats that reduce my swiftlet colonies in Nth Qld down to
about 5-10 pairs, from 100-400 pairs. Takes them a long time to
rebuild.
Cheers
Mike
