Assistance needed to eridicate Caimans

[De Bench]

convince the caiman's to commit suicide, put a tv outside and have showing on a constant loop the Parliament channel...

Fixed !!!

In the past we have seen one or two at most, but within recent months their numbers have multiplied. They are now going for late evening strolls int he streets!!
There are some banks, with one particular bank being their "Tanning" area.
I had some locals come and do a hunt this morning and those guys believe they are nesting as they found some slides and trails.
They are coming back tonight after 9pm to deal with them.
So, if they come by tonight is curry tomorrow.

The bigger concer is the children and pets in the area. The bigger drain they live in is often time visited by the kids who try and get back a ball or so.
The kids normally do their rock throwing contest. Most of the people have pompek type dogs, which will look like a food source for these reptiles.

It would be really unfortunate for somebody's child to be attacked or a pet eaten.

Seriously, any type of poison would have an adverse effect on the environment, as caimans are opportunistic feeders and eat anything they find - far too many smaller predators would be affected. Chemicals strong enough to annoy/irritate them would also have adverse effects. I do not agree with killing them out of hand, but short of trapping and releasing them elsewhere, culling would be the simplest recourse.

Why is this problem happening now, all of a sudden? I doubt it is a case of population expansion (the caimans, that is), and assuming there has been no rapid recent development in your area, then it may very well be a case of disturbance migration. This would be due to problems in their original habitat: excessive noise, environmental disturbance/pollution, or food depletion - which in turn, could be caused by the same things. If the affected area is small enough, then large teams of 'beaters' (fellahs with loud noise-makers - drums, whistles, horns, male chutney singers) arranged in lines could pass through the area regularly over a period of time, and perhaps it will disturb the scaled folk enough to encourage them to move on - but so too will all or many of the larger wildlife.

Are there large banks (or fairly so) of sand or gravel in your area, close to water? I hope not, for the females might be laying eggs there.

Please try and not let them kill them out, wait for the game warden or harass them with phone calls to get them out to do their job!

I agree. Few are they who would willingly administer food poisoning antidotes, rabies shots, or anti-indigestion medication to a suffering caiman.

A "Tanning" bank (where they "sunbathe" in groups, right?) is too public for the females to lay. They prefer more secluded spots - hence the reason why hunters tell of coming across "ah alligator dat chase dem", for they unwittingly stumbled into someone's proposed nursery. For this reason, a bank with a nest would have little spoor, but Mama's singular presence, as well as her undisguised annoyance, would be proof enough of nesting.
"Slides" and trails are just proof of movement/hunting.

Hello Tuners, our neighborhood is currently experiencing an infestation of caimans.
other than killing them on sight, is there any know method of chasing these creatures?

Can any chemicals be used in the water that will discourage them?

If anyone know of a local remedy please post it.

If it is metal, and it have "Guardia" write on it, yuh gorne too far South, turn rong, and head back... quickly.
If when yuh foot stick-up, is because it have three caiman holding onto it, and a fourth one start sprinkling salt on yuh arse, yuh in de right spot... climb a tree.

what are some of the sizes of these caiman? i know of some children in ste madeline caught some caiman and drag them up and dong de road... one died and the other was traumatized. the children were from 3 years to 7 years. the caiman were about 4 ft in length.

make real noise and intrude in their locations, they would be too annoyed to stay there. also tell the children to go in groups to avoid being seen as an easy prey.

play the trevor sayers local election video, if they dont get annoyed and move out, play twilight, they would get emo and kill them selves.

yuh livin alligator alley and want to get rid ah d original inhabitants?

Caimans generally shy away from people, the only time I've seen em aggressive is if you overly provoke or harass them or if you get reallllllly close to the nest during mating season. Pompeks are generally noisy as fcuk and will usually scare em enough to walk away.

If you happen to have several around, chances are you may have a deviant specimen. They taste good curry, curry-stewed or cut into bite size pieces and fried - just don't let the rangers catch you in the off season.
