Abstract

Objective A new type of automatic mousetrap system and its application effect were studied to provide efficient and environmentally friendly control techniques for rodents. Methods Mouse preferred food was selected for screening test of lure in the trap. The rodent density and rice rodent infestation ratio was investigated to evaluate the control effect of automatic mousetrap system. Results Research has showed that field grown mature period of sweet corn and rice sprout was the preferred lure of automatic mousetrap system. From 2012 August to November, the automatic mousetrap system has captured 141 rodents, mainly Rattus losea and R. norvegicus. After implementation of automatic mousetrap system for three months, the rat trace index decreased by 80.94% and 77.46% reduction in rice rodent ratio. Control effect was obvious. Conclusion Automatic mousetrap system and its application method provided a new technology for sustainable rodent control.
