Description:

A comparison was made between the number of Apodemus caught with a) untreated, b) baited, c) camouflaged, and d) baited and camouflaged Longworth traps. The results showed that external bait increased trap occupation during the 20-day study period, but camouflage increased occupation during the first 10 days only. Traps both baited and camouflaged consistently obtained the highest cathes. The results are interpreted in relation to the know behaviour of rodents towards traps.
