Destruction of Rabbits with Carbon Bisulphide Demonstrated
On November 1827 a Camden visit showcased fumigation of rabbit burrows using carbon bisulphide. Five rabbits were released into marked burrows, with several holes observed. The No 1 burrow fumigation began 10.5 am and finished around noon, with multiple openings closed as smoke pulses spread. Rabbits were dug out over the next hour, some dead and others comatose or recovered slowly. Observations noted double storey warrens, a strong odor of carbon bisulphide, and the process labeled a voyage into burrow sterilization. The procedure included a “siike fixture” and detailed timing, indicating partial success in eradicating the warren.
