From Problem to Progress: Management of Rodents in Urban and Agricultural Settings in Sub-Saharan Africa.

2023-12-07

Abstract excerpt

The prevalent use of synthetic chemical rodenticides (both 1st or 2nd generation anticoagulants and acute rodenticides) is the primary method for managing rodents in sub-Saharan Africa. However, this practice poses substantial health and environmental risks and often fails to yield significant, sustainable reductions in rodent pest populations. In this paper, the second one of a two-part series, we advocate for a...
