This document discusses the impacts of rodent pests in Pakistan. It notes that rodents are among the most important agricultural pests worldwide and in Pakistan. They damage field crops, stored grains, and transmit diseases. Common rodent pests in Pakistan include mole rats and bandicoot rats that burrow and damage crops like wheat, sugarcane, and rice. Rodents cause significant losses to both crops in the field and stored food supplies after harvest. One study estimated that rodents consumed $30 million worth of rice, maize and wheat each year in Pakistan. Rodent control is important for agriculture and human health in Pakistan.
