About Lesson
This lesson takes the knowledge of rodent behaviors and senses from previous sections and applies it to rodent management strategies. It stresses the importance of properly estimating population size to avoid underestimating and failing to deploy enough control methods. The lesson then dives into details on various management approaches – sanitation to remove food sources, different trapping techniques, using rodenticides safely and per regulations, and sealing entry points for exclusion. Specific tactics like trap placement, bait choices, EPA requirements for rodenticides, and rodent-proofing materials are covered to equip learners with comprehensive rodent control skills.
