- Title:
- Pine mouse (pitymus pinetorum) control research records, 1957-1973
- Description:

Pitymus pinetorum, known as the pine mouse or pine vole (it is actually a type of vole), could cause crop damage, particularly in orchards. Many of the records reflect the debate over using the chemical endrin as a rodenticide. Included are memorandums and correspondence, research notes and office papers, scientific finding reports, budgetary information, and reprints from science journals.
