Rodent Control 101: A little knowledge can improve control of house mice, Norway and roof rats

摘要

There's no debate that rodent control can be a major problem in and around swine operations. Disease transmission, feed loss, animal stress and property damage can run up a significant tab. Effective rodent control requires an investment of time and money. A little knowledge can go a long way toward reducing overall rodent-related costs, explains Ted Bruesch, national technical support manager at Liphatech, Inc. "It is important to understand the pests' behavior, then use that knowledge to select the most effective tools to control them," he says.
