Rodent pests are a significant concern in agriculture, particularly in storage facilities, grain silos, and fields. They can cause direct damage to crops, contaminate food supplies, and pose serious health risks by spreading diseases. In this module, we will explore how to identify common rodent pests, understand the damage they cause, and use monitoring techniques to assess rodent populations. By the end of this module, learners will be able to identify the signs of rodent infestation, implement monitoring strategies, and apply appropriate actions to mitigate damage caused by rodents.
