The organization of vole hunting and killing competitions is to effectively control rodents, but it must be carried out under the premise of legality, safety and humanity. The following is a step-by-step comprehensive plan, taking into account efficiency and ethics： --- ###**1. Preparation before the game** 1. **Legality verification** - Contact the local agriculture or forestry department to confirm whether the vole is a preventable rodent pest and record the activity. -If it involves protected species of wild animals (such as voles in some areas are protected), the plan needs to be adjusted or the competition cancelled. 2. **Delineation and grouping of areas** - Select farmland or wasteland with serious rat infestation and divide it into several blocks (each group is responsible for one piece to avoid duplication). -Consider age and physical strength (such as the young-adult group and the elderly group) when grouping to ensure safety. 3. **Tools and safety** -Provide unified tools: rat traps, sticky rat boards, and trapping cages (non-lethal tools are preferred to avoid toxic bait polluting the environment). -Prepare protective equipment such as gloves, masks, and disinfectant, and emphasize that contact with mice with bare hands is prohibited. --- ###**2. Optimization of competition process** 1. **Efficient trapping strategy** -**Bait optimization**: Use cereals, peanut butter, etc. that voles like to eat, and put bait in the block for 2-3 days in advance (without triggering traps) to attract rats to gather. -**Trap layout**: Guide participants to place traps densely along the ridge and near the rat hole, and set them up before evening (voles are nocturnal). 2. **Time-based statistics** -The competition is set to 2-3 days, and the results will be counted every morning and evening to clean up the traps in time to maintain efficiency. --- ###**3. Motivation and supervision** 1. **Reward mechanism** -Ranked by the number or weight of captures, the prizes are mainly based on practical agricultural resources (such as seeds and fertilizers). -Set up an "environmental protection award" to encourage harmless treatment (such as deep burial or centralized incineration). 2. **Safety supervision** -Arrange for patrols to supervise operation norms and prohibit the use of prohibited tools (such as electric shocks and poisons). -Prepare emergency medical kits to prevent rat bites or heatstroke. --- ###**Fourth, follow-up management** 1. **Harmless treatment** -Uniformly collect dead rats, bury them deep (disinfect with quicklime) or treat them professionally and innocuously to avoid random disposal. 2. **Long-term prevention and treatment recommendations** -Promote ecological rat control after the competition (such as raising natural enemies such as owls and snakes, and repairing the ecology of the field). -Guide villagers to regularly clean up farmland debris and reduce rodent habitat. --- ###**5. Alternative plan (if restricted by policy)** If the hunting and killing competition is restricted, it can be changed to： -**“Rat Hole Investigation Competition”**: Count and block the number of rat holes, and reward preventive measures. -**Knowledge competition**: Train knowledge of rodent control and popularize scientific methods through answering questions. --- Through the above steps, not only can the rat population be efficiently reduced in the short term, but also ecological and legal risks can be avoided. The focus is to combine short-term actions with long-term prevention and control to enhance villagers' environmental awareness.
