The most numerous of the world's invasive species, rodent pests have a devastating impact on agriculture, food, health and the environment. In the last two decades, the science and practice of rodent control has faced new legislation on rodenticides, the pests' increasing resistance to chemical control and the impact on non-target species, bringing a new dimension to this updated second edition and making essential reading for all those involved in rodent pest control, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners and public health specialists.

Grant Singleton is a Visiting Professor at the Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, UK, and an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Biological Sciences, Northern Arizona University, USA. He has been involved in research on rodent pests of agriculture and their biology and management in cereal agro-ecosystems in Asia & Australia (35 years). He has also been on the Scientific Advisory Board of four projects on rodent biology and management in eastern Africa, and his research strongly aligned with end-users, particularly farmer groups. He developed a new management paradigm: "integrated ecologically-based rodent management" in the late 1990s and this approach is now adopted in more than 35 countries. He has co-authored 6 books on rodent biology & management, and 2 books on natural resource management of rice. He has 157 peer-reviewed publications listed in the Web of Science with an H score of 38 and has also authored more than 90 book chapters.
