Rodent Control in Korea
초록
한국에 있어서 쥐로 인한 곡물의 피해는 연간 곡물총생산량의
Grain losses due to rodents are annually estimated to be about twenty percent of the whole grain production in Korea. The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), the roof rat (Rattus rattus), the house mouse (Mus musculas) and the striped fold mouse (Apodemus agrarius) are primary species among eleven species found in the country. Rodent control has been conducted by the government since 1962. As for the poison. anticoagulant was used at first, but no satisfactory results were obtained due to limited funds, Since 1970, zinc phosphide has been introduced for the national campaign, but the degree of efficiency have been decreased year by year becaue of increased poison shyness. In order to overcome this problem, the author has improved 2inc phosphide effectiveness by the microcapsuling method with paraffin wax which increase intake of poison by masking the taste and delaying the onset of symptom. This method can be used efficiently for national campaign in future. However, more attention to this problem, more resarch, training and funding are required for the development of rodent control in Korea.
