Environmental control methods against wild and domestic species of Muridae family: A review

Rat and mice are the major pests which cause a large number of common diseases between humans and animals. Several methods have been used to combat these pests. A new environmental control method of rat is presented for urban, rural and natural areas in Iran. The results showed that keeping the rat away and improving residential areas are two of the most effective and less costly methods to prevent the rat. Removing water and food supplies in all cases reduces the population and damage caused by rat. © 2018, Malhotra Publishing House
