Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of rodent Ratus rattus mindanensis burrow fumigation in Philippine rice fields using gas cartridges. Criteria used for evaluation were rat-damaged tillers a rat activity index active burrow counts and burrow occupancy. Only 26percent of 303 total burrow systems and only 47percent of 79 active burrow systems in two trials had rats. Rat activity was reduced only when burrow occupancy was highest. For the rodent species and cropping system studied it appears that burrow fumigation with gas cartridges requires more input for the benefit received when compared with other available rodent control methods
