Abstract
Species specific bait evaluation is important for the successful control of rodent populations through rodenticides. Experiments were conducted on the bait preference of Indian field mouse, M. booduga. Results reveal that rice normal grain, rice cracked grain, rice +4% coconut oil and millet +2% coconut oil may be used as effective poison carriers for the Indian field mouse. Additives like oil, sugar and salt did not improve the palatability of bait materials.
