         Informations pour la gestion de l'espèce

    Preventative measures: Early detection and rapid response are very important for a rapid and successful eradication of this species in introduced areas (Campbell, 2008).

    Biological: Some species of aquatic and terrestrial species of snake are predators of the Cuban treefrog (GSMFC, 2007).

    Integrated management: Effectively screening cisterns and regulating water distribution will negatively impact established populations of Cuban treefrog (Townsend, Eaton, Powell, et al, 2000).

    Chemical: Monitoring and fumigating imported plants should impair further dispersal of the species (Townsend, Eaton, Powell et al 2000).



         Études de cas sur la gestion
    Florida (USA)
    It is suggested to capture and humanely euthanize any Cuban treefrogs that are found in people's hards in Florida. To humanely euthanize this species, instructions include capturing the Osteopilus septentrionalis with gloved hands or a plastic bag, and rub benzocaine ointment on its back. Then, seal it in a plastic bag until it is unconscious. Place it in the freezer overnight to ensure that it is dead, and then throw it out with your trash (Johnson, 2007).

    Une plaquette grand public sur la Rainette de Cuba a été réalisée grâce à un financement de la DIREN de Guadeloupe et de la municipalité de Saint-Barthélemy. Elle contient des informations et des conseils pour lutter contre cette espèce exotique envahissante.
