Rodents: Biology, infestation level and control
The problems that rodents cause to humans are immense. Rodents impact public health, environmental welfare and cause losses to our food supply, both through direct consumption and spoilage.

Signs of rodents and level of infestation
The below table shows how signs of rodent activity directly correspond with the the level of infestation at the site.
Installation of baits
Baits must be applied according to label recommendations. Position baits in all areas where a site inspection has demonstrated the presence and activity of rodents. Baits are placed securely in bait stations to avoid exposure to humans and non-target animals. Heavy infestations require higher rates of bait application and more bait points than smaller infestations. Replenish baits until all signs of feeding stop and there are no other signs of rodent activity.
