But why is it so important to keep on top of any infestations?
Crop and Livestock Protection
Rodents, such as rats and mice, can cause significant damage to crops and stored grains. They can chew through containers and packaging, contaminate food supplies, and reduce the overall yield of crops. On top of this, rodents can harm livestock by promoting the spread of diseases or preying on young or weak animals.
Disease Prevention
Rodents are known to carry and transmit various diseases to humans, livestock, and other animals. Some common diseases transmitted by rodents include leptospirosis, hantavirus, salmonellosis, and plague (yes, really!). Effective rodent control measures can help reduce the risk of disease transmission.
Structural Integrity
Rodents are notorious for chewing through anything... Even concrete! They can often be found gnawing through building materials, including electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, and insulation. This can compromise the structural integrity of farm buildings, leading to costly repairs or potential safety hazards.
Biosecurity
Controlling rodents is crucial for maintaining proper biosecurity on the farm. Rodents can act as reservoirs for various pathogens and parasites, which can have significant negative impacts on animal and human health. Implementing rodent control measures can help minimise the risk of disease introduction and spread within the farm.
Financial Impact
Rodents can cause financial losses due to decreased crop yields and quality, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and increased vet and medical costs. By investing in effective rodent control strategies, farmers can protect their investments and maximise their profits.
Rodent infestations can be challenging to control as they reproduce rapidly and develop resistance to many conventional pest control methods. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques, such as trapping and baiting can often be effective in reducing rat populations on farms. Common signs of a rodent infestation to look out for include droppings, burrows, tracks, nests, gnaw marks and actual rodent sightings!
