Farmers' bulletin no. 1638 Produced by Tom Cosmas "Rat Proofing Buildings and Premises" by James Silver, M.C. Betts, and W.E. Crouch is a scientific publication produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, issued in the early 20th century. The book outlines effective strategies and practices for permanently controlling rat infestations in both agricultural and urban settings. It emphasizes the importance of building design and maintenance in preventing rats from accessing food and shelter, thereby mitigating their destructiveness. The content of the book is comprehensive, detailing various methods of rat proofing across different types of buildings, including barns, granaries, poultry houses, markets, and warehouses. It provides practical recommendations for construction techniques, materials, and sanitation practices that can effectively limit rat access and breeding environments. The authors not only highlight the significance of proper building ordinances but also stress the need for ongoing maintenance to ensure sustained rat control. They assert that while extermination methods may provide temporary relief, the ultimate solution lies in preventing access to food and shelter through well-planned and executed rat-proofing strategies.
