SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Management of commensal rodent populations requires greater emphasis on long-term planning and maintenance of urban infrastructure. Integration of engineering and biological principles is necessary to effectively accomplish this. Design engineering provides opportunity to include rodent control features within the infrastructure being built. Construction-period rodent control helps prevent community impacts and keep facilities from being completed with pre-existing rodent problems.
