*2.2.10.3 Baits*

There are certain rodenticides existing for field usage and can only be used by certified pesticide applicators. However, aluminum phosphide tablets and gas cartridges could be used to fumigate pest burrows. Agrarians may use bait stations to evaluate rodent populations decline, afterward use of rodenticide across the plantation flooring and below the canopies of trees. Globally, rodent pests are maximally frequently controlled chemically and there is an augmented interest in biological control by avian predators. Several avian predators (*Tyto alba*, *Elanus axillaris*, *Falco tinnunculus*, *Falco cenchroides*, *Bubo bengalensis*, *Buteo rufinus*) are commonly quoted in the biological control of rodents; however, barn owl (*T. alba*) is the most cited species [54].
