Conteúdo: | This work was focused on the sewage system network of Bandeirantes township in Paraná State, Brazil, as a means to assess the efficacy of a baiting method for rodent control in sewage systems in small towns. Experimental sites were distributed randomly in 5 sectors, totaling 97 sites, using Brodifacoum (0.005% w/w) as rodent poison. Bait Inspections were conducted weekly. After the first week, bait consumption was reduced by 73% and 67% for sectors one and two, respectively. For sector four, bait consumption was reduced by 72% after the second week. Although it was not possible to assume a linear relationship between bait consumption and rodent population, our results indicate the overall quantitative efficacy of this simple, cost-effective, low-maintenance rodent control procedure for sewage systems in small towns.
