Mäuseschäden in Forstkulturen

Some rodent species of the family Arvicolidae especially the Field Vole (Microtus agrestis), the Bank Vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) and the Water Vole (Arvicola terrestris) can cause severe damage in broadleaved and mixed forest cultivations. Up to now the losses can be diminished only by reduction of vole density during wintertime. The use of rodenticides in the cold season did not affect the development of rodents during summertime. Risks of primary and secondary poisoning can be avoided using special bait stations and environmental save agents.
