Issues of attractiveness and organoleptic properties of rodenticidal baits are little involved in efforts to improve products efficacy and to reduce damage caused by rodents in agricultural facilities. The aim of our investigation in the current, as well as in the period to come, is to improve organoleptic properties of baits in terms of their easier and more efficient acceptability, and therefore to reduce the abundance of Mus musculus to economic threshold level. These investigations suggest which nutrient medium, attractant and product formulation achieve the best control of Mus musculus. The tested products differ in the attractant type they contain: parmesan, anise, apple, bacon and hazelnut. Experiments were conducted according to standard OEPP/EPPO methods in agricultural facilities of Stari Tamiš, on 400 square meter plots for each attractant type. In 1100 square meter storage, the baits with all available attractants were set. Rodent abundance was calculated based on the total amount of bait consumed and ratio between the lowest and the highest amount of daily consumed food divided by mice daily needs. Efficacy was calculated using the Abbot's formula. The results suggest that the bait based on apple attractive medium was the most consumed and had efficacy of 100% in a facility where it was exposed as the only bait, as well as in a facility with all other available baits. We take the stand that it is necessary to standardize the product with organoleptic properties of apple and to expand investigations in terms of universal product.
