Improving bait station utility

Commensal rodents are one of the most widespread mammals in the urban environment. They pose threats to the public’s health and cause structural damage to buildings. Yet, they remained understudied. This leads to a lack of understanding of these species, and to incomplete management.

Updating the roof rat range map
The current roof rat range map is out of date. In conjunction with the University of Arizona and Utah State University, UC ANR is aiming to update this out of date map in order to be able to provide pest management professionals with the educational materials and training that they need to effectively manage urban roof rat populations.
