Abstract	:	World food shortages become more acute each year, and all too often, rodents are present to take their unwarranted share. To counter this, we must refine our rodent control methods to make them more efficient. To this end, correct bait selection is essential. Grain baits must be selected for purity and acceptability. Grain alterations must be carefully controlled, as well as any additives. Multi-ingredient or composition baits must be checked for size, hardness, protein content, and additives. The selection of trap baits is critical for the success of trapping program. In general, fresh coconut is the best bait, but on-site local baits must be checked.
