Determining the Best Placement for Rodent Devices at Commercial Food Buildings
Research on rodent trap placement in food facilities reveals that conventional spacing, based on outdated standards, lacks sufficient scientific backing. A study assessing building characteristics showed that warmer, sheltered areas attract more rodent activity. This suggests that inspections should inform trap placement to enhance effectiveness and reduce unnecessary bait waste.
Finding Ways to Reduce the Risk of Non-Target Rodenticide Exposure in Roof Rat Control
A study published in Pest Management Science explores the use of rodenticide bait stations by commensal rodents at the urban-wildland interface. Funded by the Pest Management Foundation, the research indicates that native rodents rarely access bait stations, primarily used by roof rats. Management recommendations are provided to minimize non-target exposures while controlling pest populations.
