Rodent infestation in residential and nearby areasand damage in stored food material in various premises, assessment of losses and evaluation of acute and chronic rodenticides in residential habitats were studied. The rodent population in different types of premises like brick houses, mud houses, shops, godowns, small storage rooms and nearby open areas vary significantly. The rats collected from houses were mainly Rattusrattus and Mus masculasand few were Rattusmeltada. The anticoagulant rodenticides like Bromadiolone and Difethialone were found more effective as compared to acute rodenticide like zinc phosphide.
