Rats have been considered an agricultural problem in Malaysia for many years, particularly in relation to paddy and oil palm (Turner & Gillbanks,2003). Rats can cause crop losses ranging from 5% to 10% (Liau, 1990; Wood, 2001). Cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical control methods have been practiced to control rats and these methods show varying degrees of effectiveness.
