Rats Attacking Wheat Crops? Try This 5-Day Scientific Control Method!

• Wheat farmers in Shahjahanpur face significant crop damage from rats, which are gnawing at plants and hollowing them from the roots.
• Dr. Hadi Hussain Khan, an agricultural expert, explains that rats are rapidly reproducing vertebrate pests whose continuously growing teeth lead them to gnaw on crops.
• Rats destroy more grain than they consume, are more active at night, and their tunnels damage soil structure, necessitating scientific control.
• A five-day strategy involves identifying burrows on day one, closing them on day two, and placing non-poisonous bait in reopened burrows on day three.
• On day four, poisonous bait with zinc phosphide is placed in active burrows, leading to rat elimination by day five; ensure pet safety.

Why It Matters: A 5-day scientific method using bait and zinc phosphide can effectively control rat infestations in wheat crops.
