ABSTRACT
Rodents are small mammals belonging to the family Muridae and the order Rodentia, a group characterised by a pair of continuously growing incisors used for gnawing various materials, including electrical wiring systems in vehicles. Rodents are among the most significant vertebrate pests worldwide due to their remarkable adaptability to diverse environments and high reproductive potential. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different rodenticides based on the reduction of rodent activity. indicated by the presence of droppings, gnaw marks, and bait consumption. In addition, the study aimed to identify the most suitable rodenticide for use as part of an integrated Pest Management (PM) programme within a vehicle storage warehouse environment. The relationship between bait consumption and the reduction of both rodent populations and activity levels within the study area was also examined. Two rodenticides were evaluated: flocoumafen (0.005%) and bromadiolone (0.005%). The findings indicated that flocoumalen (0.006 %) was highly effective for controlling rodents in areas with high infestation levels compared to bromadiolone (0.005%). Conversely, bromadiolone (0.005%) was found to be more suitable for maintenance control programmes and locations with low rodent infestation levels. Overall, rodent control programmes utilising bromadiolone (0.005%) were determined to be more appropriate for long-term implementation within an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework, as this approach poses less disruption to the food chain and offers a more cost-effective solution compared to flacoumafen (0.005%).
