Anyone who visits and works daily on a farm knows that rodents like our warm facilities, delicious meals, and temperate water. Everything is free and sometimes readily available. Another gift in our all-inclusive package is that rodents do not face any predators inside the houses.

For these reasons, the presence of rodents creates a high risk of breaking the biosecurity rules.
