    Rats are carriers of various pathogens and a health risk for humans and animals. Resistance usually leads to the use of highly toxic, persistent and bioaccumulative anticoagulant rodenticides in rat control on farms. In order to reduce the environmental risk, the “digiWRaP” project is working with farmers to develop a digital warning system that detects the arrival of individual animals on farms at an early stage and reports this to mobile devices. This enables local and targeted control of individual animals before resistant populations become established in buildings. In “digiWRaP”, a new practicable measure for rat management on farms is being developed. The warning system will enable farmers and pest controllers to prevent infestations.
