Rodent control starts with the mapping of the pest (step 1: monitoring). Once you have mapped the extent of the pest, you can take measures to keep rodents out (step 2: prevention). If the pest is already present on your farm, you can capture
the animals (step 3: capturing). If this is not effective, you can, in extreme cases, choose to use pesticides as the last step (step 4: controlling).

There are three types of rodent control measures for the exclusion of rodents: constructional, hygienic and occupational measures. For rodent control a method has been developed for the effective rodent control, whereby the spreading of poison is used as the last resort. This new method consists of four steps, namely monitoring, repelling, trapping and using rodenticides. We will explain this new method to you.

Rats are rodents that do not travel much. They stay mainly in one place and reproduce. Therefore, start with rats at step 1 ( monitoring ) to find the pest. The rats control can be done by catching the rodents. If not all rats are caught, use rodenticide as a last alternative. Rodenticide is a poisoned bait. A licence for rodent control is required for the application of this.

Mice are rodents that can reproduce quickly. It is therefore important to take quick action when mice have been spotted. Start the mice control by identifying the pest. When there is information about the size of the pest and the area where they are located, the following measures (step 3) can be taken. No rodent control licence is required for traps and traps. When rodenticides, toxic baits, are used to control rodents, it is mandatory to have a rodent control license.
