Feral Rodents

Rodents are a huge problem because they cause millions of dollars worth of damages to Australian homes and the agriculture cropping industry each year. Landholders are not always aware when rodent numbers are building up, so actions to prevent damages can be delayed. Once the numbers are high managing the problem can be extremely difficult and not always successful. The key to successful rodent management is regular monitoring and prompt action.
