Live-traps vs. Rodenticides on Organic Farms: which method works best?Bastiaan G.MeerburgauthorHenny G. M.ReimertauthorAizeKijlstraauthorRodent control is important from a food safety perspective, especially on organic farms. However, extermination using cats and poison have their disadvantages. Therefore we were searching for a better method of rodent control on organic farms. Live-traps might be an alternative: it fits better in the organic philosophy. But does it work? In this study we compared application of poison with use of live-traps by determining their efficacies on 20 organic pig farms. We found no difference between treatments, thus live-traps can form an alternative for poison. Pigs2006Conference paper, poster, etc.
