Applications of Rodenticides in Urban Pest Control, Agricultural Pest Control and Wildlife Management

Urban Pest Control

Rodent control products play a role in regulating urban rodent populations and safeguard public health by preventing the spread of diseases like leptospirosis and hantavirus carried by rodents. Major manufacturers, like Bell Laboratories and Syngenta AG are suppliers of rodent control solutions tailored for urban environments.

Agricultural Pest Control

Rodenticides are commonly employed in farming to control invasions that can harm crops and lead to financial setbacks. One notable benefit of using rodenticides, in agriculture is their ability to address infestations that may not be practical to address using conventional trapping techniques. Prominent companies dominating this sector are BASF SE and Rentokil Initial PLC.

Wildlife Management

Moreover sources of information have purposes in handling wildlife situations where they are used to manage invasive rodent populations that can negatively affect the surrounding environment if not addressed properly. This area presents some difficulties as the approaches employed must be both ethical and minimize unintended consequences for other animal species. Key players in this field comprise JT Eaton & Co. Inc. along, with Neogen Corporation.
