Summary
Data were collected in association with the application of two physical barrier treatments, bentonite clay (a sealing agent) and expanding foam (an insulation sealant), in natural pond-burrows to suppress or kill the invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Data include burrow diameter and depth, crayfish sex and size, and determination of the treatment reaching the burrow chamber.

Burrow treatments are in support of high-priority research developing control methods to mitigate impacts of invasive crayfish within the Great Lakes Basin. The data will assist management agencies by providing a non-pesticide method to control burrow populations, which does not require regulatory permits, may have fewer public perception challenges, and may be restorative of habitats damaged by crayfish burrowing.
