Non-Chemical Rodent Control

W.H. Kern and P.G. Koehler


Opening Paragraph:
Rats and mice often enter homes, farm buildings, and warehouses in search of food and shelter. The most common rodent pests in Florida are the commensal rats and mice. These are Old World rodents that have adapted to live with man. They include the Roof Rat, Norway Rat, and House Mouse. These commensal rodents have been carried by man to every corner of the Earth. Rats and mice consume or contaminate large quantities of food and damage structures, stored clothing, and documents. They also serve as reservoirs or vectors of numerous diseases, such as Rat-bite fever, Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease), Murine Typhus, Rickettsial pox, Plague, Trichinosis, Typhoid, Dysentery, Salmonellosis, Hymenolepis tapeworms, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis and Rabies.
