Description 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."
