Rapid mortality resulted when kernel baits treated with zinc phosphide were used; baits were applied by different types of drills. Pre‐planting treatment of the seed with heptachlor emulsion (40%) + TMTD had a highly repellent effect and considerably reduced rodent attack. Factors underlying the appearance of murid invasions are discussed.
