野鼠的防除
Prevention of Rats
Prevention of Rats
台灣地處亞熱帶界，四季氣候溫和，農地劃分複雜，成為許多鼠類良好的棲息場所。多年來政府大力推動滅鼠工作，全省野鼠數量顯著的降低，但有些地區的鼠隻密度仍是相當的高。
台灣鼠類約有12種，其中會對農作物造成危害的野鼠主要有四種，分別是小黃腹鼠、赤背條鼠、田鼷鼠及鬼鼠。本片介紹它們外部型態、分布地區、棲息場所及生活的習性。
目前推廣的有可滅鼠、撲滅鼠及伏滅鼠等三種餌劑，除了撲滅鼠對鬼鼠的毒效較差，不適用於甘蔗園外，其餘的藥劑都可施用於各種作物區。
野鼠的防除，除了要全年持續的進行之外，還必須要把三月至四月鼠類的生殖鼎盛期及九月至十月鼠隻達到性成熟的階段，為防治工作重點。如此雙管齊下才能更有效的降低鼠隻密度，進而減少也鼠對作物的損害程度。

Taiwan is located in the subtropical region and its overall climate is generally warm throughout the four seasons. The variety and complexity of its agriculture makes it an ideal environment for rats. Throughout the years, the government has put a great deal of effort into eliminating rats. Results show that overall, the number of rats has dropped, but the density remains high in some regions.
There are twelve species of rodents in Taiwan. Of these, four cause harm to agricultural crops: the brown country rat, the Formosan striped field mouse, the Formosan mouse and the Taiwan bandicoot rat. This video talks about the places they inhabit and their habitual behaviors.
Currently promoted baits are used to eliminate, catch-and-kill, and ambush-and-kill. With the exception of “catch-and-kill,” which is ineffective against the Taiwan bandicoot rat and thus not appropriate for sugar cane farms, all of these baits can be used on all kinds of farms.
The prevention of rats not only takes a whole year of continuous work but also requires special caution March through April, the peak of rodent reproduction, and September ~ October, when rodents reach their puberty/maturity. This kind of knowledge can help to further reduce damage to crops from rodents.
