Abstract

The effectiveness of two rat traps, bamboo snap back-rum-noose trap and plank trap/ death fall trap, was tested in a coconut plantation (23.5 ha area) for 24 months and 9 months, respsctively. The former gave 15.5% catch of Bandicota bengalensis and the latter gave 24.6% catch of three rat species Bandicota indica, Rattus rattus, and Tatera indica.
