    Abstract

    The short-tailed bandicoot rat, Nesokia indica Gray is a fossoria1 predominant rodent pest in Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and the Union Territory of Delhi (Biswas and Tiwari, 1966). It was observed that the usual method by which baits were applied at Indian Agricultural Research Institute farm (i.e. baits wrapped in a piece of paper and placed in front/inside the burrows) was not acceptable. Some of the baits were burried in the excavated soil and the others were thrown out of the burrows in the process of excavation. Therefore, a new method was developed termed as the "Hanger method" of bait application. This study investigated the comparative efficacy and economics of the two baiting techniques, the "Wrapped bait method" and the "Hanger method."
