Sound environmental sanitation is the most effective strategy. Rats require three things: food, water, and shelter. If these are denied, rats will naturally decrease in density.

The control measure is divided into two parts:

  1. Chemical Measure
  2. Mechanical Measure

Chemical Measure

The anti-coagulant rodenticides are used. The poison will be mixed in food material & baiting is done. Baiting will be done only for outside compound premises.

Mechanical Measure

Trapping is done by using Scissor Traps, Wonder Traps, Cages & Glue boards.

Trapping: The trapping is done by inspecting the runway of rodents & will be done for inside premises; if necessary, it will be done for outside premises also.

  • Baiting is done for outside premises.
  • Glue Boards, Wonder Traps, Cages & Scissor Traps are placed inside premises by inspecting the runway of rats.
