This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1924, this rare early work on rats and their control is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has republished it in an affordable, high quality, modern edition using the original text and artwork. The author was an expert and dedicated destroyer of rats who also invented the "Terrier" Death Run Rat Trap and the Blocking Trap. He was persuaded to write this fascinating book after fighting a memorable battle in ridding a friend's house and farm of a long established and numerous rat colony.

Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Book excerpt: Whether you live in an urban area or in a rural settlement, rats and mice are among your primary enemies. Not only are these rodents nuisance pests, they cause damage to human property, crops, spoil food supplies, and, most importantly, carry diseases. Remember that these are rats that heavily contributed to the spread of the Black Death in the Middle Ages. Rats not just bite but are able to gnaw to death a baby, as it was the case in Mexico in 2016, or may disfigure a face if their victim is helpless like a disabled French teenager mutilated by these rodents in her bad in 2017. Who is to blame? It is the fault of people who do not care enough to eradicate rats and mice in their houses believing the problem is just the matter of unsanitary conditions. Without a crackdown on rodents, no half-measures will be successful.All solutions featured in this guide are recommended by American scientists to force rats and mice out of the house. In this book, you will learn about the behavior of rats and mice as well as in what way they differ. We have provided an in-depth study of the effectiveness of available methods to combat these rodents. You will also find a review of rat & mouse control products popular with consumers.There is a number of traps, repellents, and poisons available on the market. But which ones do really work against mice and rats? What are their advantages and downsides? Over 70 pages of a detailed analysis and step-by-step instructions will help you obtain the desired results in an effort to keep these critters away. You will also find some homemade recipes in case you cannot afford extra spending. For gardeners and supporters of eco-friendly solutions, there is a review of how to get rid of rodents naturally. A thorough and descriptive comparison table of the suggested solutions will help you properly determine a rat control strategy.At the end of this guide, you will find a comparative chart of TOP-23 Amazon products described in the book. These are poison baits with various active ingredients such as diphacinone, bromadiolone, diphacinone, and brodifacoum, which also include a blend of ingredients highly attractive to mice. There are different electronic traps, as well as traps killing by suffocation or humane solutions without a lethal outcome. A list of repellents includes the chemicals based on ingredients like denatonium benzoate, ammonia, and mothballs with a modern formulation, as well as natural solutions based on essential oils. Ultrasonic repellents for rats and mice are also included in the review. Apart from that, there is a number of products eliminating the smell of dead rodents.

Book A Review of the Current Knowledge of Rodent Behaviour in Relation to Control Devices

Download or read book A Review of the Current Knowledge of Rodent Behaviour in Relation to Control Devices written by B. Kay Clapperton and published by Science & Technical Publishing Department of Conservation. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent review of techniques used to detect and control the four introduced rodent species found on the New Zealand mainland and islands (house mice Mus musculus, ship rats Rattus rattus, Norway rats Rattus norvegicus and kiore Rattus exulans) identified the need for better understanding of rodent behaviour. This report provides a review of the published literature on rodent behaviour in relation to control devices, especially bait stations and baits. The review is based on searches of computer databases and information from key researchers on: taste preferences, meal size, neophobia, feeding behaviour, movements, home ranges and territoriality, bait shyness, aversion, resistance, odours, and colour preference. Other aspects of rodent behaviour, including responses to repellents, sounds and traps, are also briefly summarised.

Book Bait Station Preferences of Ship Rats

Download or read book Bait Station Preferences of Ship Rats written by E. B. Spurr and published by . This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Department of Conservation (DOC) surveillance programmes to detect rodent invasions on rodent-free islands currently involve observation of rodent interference with toxic baits in bait stations. Different DOC Conservancies use different types of bait station. We monitored the behavioural responses of 24 wildcaught captive ship rats (Rattus rattus) to four currently used bait station types; yellow plastic pipe, wooden box ("rat motel"), wooden tunnel, and white plastic Philproof bait stations. The bait stations contained non-toxic bait similar to the toxic bait used in surveillance programmes. More than 75% of the rats entered the yellow plastic pipe, wooden box, and wooden tunnel bait stations, but fewer than 10% entered the Philproof bait stations. Rats ate bait from the first three bait station types but not from the latter. The average amount of bait eaten per night by the rats that ate bait (0.8 g) was not enough for a lethal dose for 50% of the population if the baits had contained 20 ppm, or even 50 ppm, brodifacoum. On the basis of these results, DOC should use yellow plastic pipe, wooden box, or wooden tunnel bait stations rather than Philproof bait stations for surveillance for ship rats. However, other bait station types and the responses of kiore (R. exulans) and house mouse (Mus musculus) to different bait stations should be tested before any final decision is made on the best type to use in multispecies rodent surveillance programmes.

Book Rodents in Tropical Rice

Download or read book Rodents in Tropical Rice written by Michael W. Fall and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the rice-growing areas of the world, rats and related species have attained major pest status. Rodent damage to rice is widespread throughout the rice-growing regions of the world, but its intensity varies from place to place and season to seson. Because much rice is grown on small farms, heavy damage in a few fields can be a serious economic problem for the individual farmer. A nearly overwhelming variety of methods for controlling rodents have been suggested, discussed, recommended, or tried. Unfortunately, little distinction is usually made between killing rats and protecting crops from damage. The major criterion for evaluating agricultural rodent control methods should be the degree of crop protection they afford. The process of protecting fields could be accomplished by killing rats, excluding them, or making the corp areas less suitable for rats to occupy. A variety of physical, chemical, and biological control methods have been suggested by various of methods for each situation should be based on cost, practicality, and cultural acceptability as well as on effectiveness. Rat control, like other forms of crop protection, should be considered as an integral part of the agricultural production process. Since the labor and capital available to each farmer are limited, extension workers have an important role in helping the farmer find efficient ways to allocate his time and resources to produce and protect his crop.
