	7. Overall assessment.	Article meets GA criteria, as described in my comments above. All issues were minor and have been fixed.

additional comments

• "Control of these pests is attempted through exclusion, repulsion, physical removal or chemical means, or by sterilisation programmes or other methods of biological control.": I think that there are too many "or". How about omitting "or by" at "or by sterilisation programmes ". Any other would work as well.

Rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:27, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

• The article meets the GA standards, awaiting the nominators' input regarding my comment about the bronze cat caption in order to close my review.--Kostas20142 (talk) 17:54, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
