Six steps to successful rat and mouse control

Remain vigilant
Don't give up once the resident population has been eliminated. There will always be new colonies waiting to take advantage of your farm yard. Successful rodent control requires on-going throught and attention.
Although rats will not breed in the depths of winter- they certainly will come spring time. As each female can produce eight young every 22 days, the next population could explode before the rats move back out into the fields next summer.
• If you see new rat activity carry out a new baiting programme immediately. It is easier to kill a few hungry rats than a plague.
• Continue the tidy-up and maintenance schedule.
Kepp your dated sketches in a safe place. These will provide a useful start when it comes to planning next winter's campaign, and can also form part of your Farm Assurance records.
