Abstract: Objective:The author researched into the ecological characteristics and controlling methods of the Crocidura dracula in Dafeng,northern Jiangsu.Methods:Trap night method was used and the Crocidura dracula were captured in a selected field of 2km ² in the middle ten days of every month during 1987-1992.They were recorded according to where they were captured,and were measured and dissected separately according to sex.Result:The results showed that the average yearly density reached up to 4.98%.There were two peaks which occurred in April and in November separately in a year.They tended to live in crop fields where there were plenty of food and good hiding-places.The period of pregnancy and propagation lasted from March to September.The average fetus number at a birth was 5.51±1.3 and the estimated life-span was between1 and 1.5 years.The Crocidura dracula lived on varied kinds of food,depending on their food resources.They were active at night and may be controlled in both agricultural and chemical ways.The Crocidura dracula become one of the main animal population in Dafeng and they do great harm to our agricultural production.Conclusions:We must take measures to deal with them and our study shows that it is the best time to attract and kill the Crocidura dracula by using poisonous baits before spring sowing or at the beginning of November.
