Method for preventing and trapping rats in rice field

Abstract

The invention discloses a rat-proof and rat-trapping method which comprises the following steps of: completely surrounding a paddy field by using a fence to prevent rats, and arranging a proper amount of rat traps between the fence and a ridge to trap the rats. The method has the advantages that the method is combined with prevention and trapping, rats are prevented from entering the rice field to harm rice, the rats ready to enter the rice field are caught, the number of the rats is reduced, materials are simple, operation is convenient, meanwhile, use of chemical rodenticide can be avoided or reduced, pollution to the rice field environment is relieved, and the phenomenon of secondary poisoning of people and livestock is avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of rat prevention and mouse catching, and particularly relates to a method for rat prevention and mouse catching in a rice field. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, rice field rodent pests have become increasingly rampant, causing increasing rice losses year by year. Field rodent pests have become the main pests that trouble farmers. In the existing technology, there are various methods of catching mice, including trapping with rat poison, trapping with mouse traps, catching with mouse cages, or using electric cats and mice. These methods of catching mice have their own shortcomings. For example, after killing a small number of mice with rat poison, the remaining mice will no longer eat; after catching mice once with mouse traps and mouse traps, the remaining mice will avoid them; and using electric cats and mice is unsafe. What methods can be used to catch mice and protect rice production is an urgent problem that farmers need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: the combined technology of fence to prevent rats and mousetrap to catch rats can improve the effect of preventing and controlling rat damage and reduce the loss of rice caused by rat damage in rice fields. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0004] A method for preventing and catching rats in rice fields, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step a: Fence construction, material selection (any one of iron sheets, agricultural film, wire mesh, nylon mesh, etc., several 60cm long short wooden sticks or bamboo strips), setting method (use short wooden sticks or bamboo strips as pillars, use agricultural film or other materials to surround the rice field, and keep a distance of 20-30cm from the ridge to prevent mice from entering the rice field).

[0006] Step b: Setting up mousetraps: Set up mousetraps every 20 meters in the gaps between the fence and the ridges where mice remain to catch them.

[0007] Example 1 Agricultural film fence + mousetrap

[0008] Use agricultural film to surround the rice field and keep a distance of 20-30cm from the ridge to prevent mice from entering the rice field; then set a mousetrap every 20m in the gap between the fence and the ridge to catch mice. Specific operation method: Next to the rice at the edge of the rice field, use 60cm short wooden sticks (or bamboo strips) as pillars every 2m, insert 10cm into the soil, leaving about 50cm, use 60cm wide agricultural film as a fence, use rubber rings (or iron wires) to fix the top of each pillar to the upper edge of the agricultural film, and press the lower edge of the agricultural film into the soil without leaving any gaps. Put an appropriate amount of bait in the mousetrap to increase the mouse catching rate.

[0010] Table 1 shows the capture of two types of pests by “agricultural film fence + mousetrap” in rice fields and the damage to rice.

[0011] Example 2 Iron fence + mousetrap

[0012] Except that iron sheet is used instead of agricultural film and the width of the iron sheet is reduced to 33 cm, the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0014] Table 2 shows the capture of two types of pests by “iron fence + mousetrap” in rice fields and the damage to rice.

[0015] Example 3 Wire Mesh Fence + Mousetrap

[0016] Except that iron wire mesh is used instead of agricultural film, the other materials are the same as those in Example 1.

[0018] Table 3 shows the capture of two types of pests by “wire fence + mousetrap” in rice fields and the damage to rice.

[0019] Example 4 Nylon mesh fence + mousetrap

[0020] Except that nylon mesh is used instead of agricultural film, the other materials are the same as those in Example 1.

[0022] Table 4 shows the capture of two types of pests by “nylon mesh fence + mousetrap” in rice fields and the damage to rice.
