BASF has launched its 2022 survey for UK farmers, in a bid to explore rodent activity on farms across the country. The short survey aims to gain a greater understand and provide insights into current rodent control measures and rodenticide usage on farms, as well as identify areas of resistant rats. One important object will be to gather information on the prevalence of resistant rats throughout the UK, says BASF. With the use of anticoagulant baits containing the actives bromadiolone and difenacoum, proving ineffective on resistant rats and ultimately contributing to the spread of rodents on farms, the data gathered will establish the extent to which resistance is understood by farmers, what methods farmers are using to control rodent infestations, and which areas of the UK are reporting the most problems with resistance. The results will be compared with the data gathered in a survey launched by BASF in 2020, which the manufacturer says provides a benchmark understanding of rodent control on farms, offering insight into the changing landscape of rodenticide usage and highlighting, across the country, any areas with increasing resistance. All farmers who complete the survey will receive a complimentary Selontra beanie hat as a gesture of appreciation…
