Rice fields in North
River communes severely damaged by rats
(binhthuan.gov.vn) Recently,
the rice fields in the North River area of Duc Linh district, Tanh Linh
district - Binh Thuan province (including the communes of Me Pu - Duc Linh, Duc
Phu, Nghi Duc - Tanh Linh) have been occuring the problem of rat raging and
destroying seriously the blooming rice fields of people.
According to Mr.
Huynh Van Phung - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Me Pu commune, Duc
Linh district, Binh Thuan province, this year's crop in Me Pu commune has sown
over 800 hectares, of which more than 40 hectares of flowering rice were
damaged by rats. At the beginning of the year, the People's Committee of Me Pu
Commune has planned to mobilize mobilize all rice farmers to catch rats by
manual forms such as shielding, digging rat burrows, and using rat poison. In
addition, regular conducting propaganda and mobilization of people to catch rats.

As researched by the reporter,
this increasing problem comes from many reasons: objectively, this year the
low-lying area of the north river was not flooded, so rats proliferate a lot,
the animals that help people catch rats such as snakes are less and less.
Besides, this area has many rivers, streams and canals, which are ideal places
for rats; Subjectively, people have not been able to eliminate rats in a
uniform and synchrnous way, the current rat poison is not as effective as the
previous ones. Now, using tarpaulins to surround the fields and use electric to
eliminate rats is the most effective and popular way.
