摘要

Purpose: This study investigated the distribution of rats and the effect of different baits on rat entrapped in the traditional market in Taichung city from October of 2001 to January of 2003.
Methods: We used Sherman live trap where were put at eight traditional markets in Taichung city to entrap rats. Meat-bait (pork, roasted sausage) and non-meat-bait (cheese, butter bread, sweet potato and peanut) were put in Sherman live trap, respectively.
Results: Totally 64 mice were collected from eight traditional markets in this study. Forty-eight Rattus norvegicus and sixteen Suncus murinus were identified. Mice entrapping ratio was 44.79% in meat-bait group and was 10.94% in non-meat-bait group, respectively. Furthermore, 34.37% and 32.81% of mice entrapping was found in the meat-bait group by using pork and roasted sausage, respectively. In addition, different mice entrapping ratio were observed. South (27.78%) and Center (27.78%) districts were higher than those of North (16.67%) and Beitun (16.67%) districts, respectively. Meat-bait attracted Rattus norvegicus were much more than Suncus murinus (P＜0.01). Nineteen Rattus norvegicus and three Suncus murinus were collected in the meat-baut group by using pork. Meanwhile, five Rattus norvegicus entrapping in West district (26.32%) and four Rattus norvegicus entrapping in South district (21.05%) were noted. Fourteen Rattus norvegicus and seven Suncus murinus were collected in the meat-bait group by using roasted sausage. Three Suncus murinus were collected in the meat-bait group by using roasted sausage.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated there was significant difference found in the distribution and eating characteristics of mice in Taichung city, which may provide the proper way to entrap mice by using different baits.
