Effects of physical barriers and eradication on recolonization of rodents in poultry farms

Mus musculus, Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus are pests in poultry farms, causing economic losses and transmitting diseases. Control is commonly conducted through anticoagulant rodenticides, but this control is not effective through time. We aimed to assess the effect of rodent exclosure on long...
