Rat Control Farming Note
Rats carry a large number of diseases and parasites which can be harmful to both humans and animals. This, alongside the damage they cause, makes them a major farm pest. A better understanding of how rats behave and potential control options will make their control more effective.
This Farming Note covers:
- Why are rats a problem?
- How to prevent infestations before they become a problem
- Control techniques
- HSE and COSHH
- An additional 'rat bait recording sheet'
Issued January 2010.
