Rodents migrate to adjacent farms and homes and create health and nuisance complaints.
They waste feed and can spread a number of diseases between farms and flocks. Rats and mice are major carriers of Salmonella enteritidis which can be transmitted to humans via contaminated poultry carcasses. Rodents have been implicated in the spread of mites. They also damage insulation, curtains, hoses and electrical wire and can destroy chicks and poults. A systematic rodent control program will pay dividends by minimizing these problems.
