Organizing an efficient vole hunting competition requires scientific planning, teamwork and reasonable incentives. The following is a detailed step-by-step plan, designed to maximize the capture in a short period of time and ensure safety and environmental protection： --- ###**1. Preparation before the game: scientific research and resource coordination** 1. **Delineate key areas** -Through feedback from villagers and on-site surveys, mark farmland where voles are frequently active (such as crop bite marks, dense cave areas). -Use an infrared camera or sprinkle flour to observe footprints and determine the path of nocturnal activity. 2. **Time selection** -The competition time is selected during the active period of voles: **5-7 o'clock in the morning**or **5-8 o'clock in the evening** (avoid extreme weather). -Publicize and mobilize 1 week in advance to ensure the number of participants. 3. **Tools and materials** -**Rat trap tool**： -Traditional rat trap (low cost, training is required for safe use)； -Live trapping cages (suitable for ecologically sensitive areas, need to be checked daily)； -Sticky mouse board (auxiliary use to avoid accidental injury to birds). -**Bait**: Fried corn kernels, peanut butter, sweet potato cubes (pre-delivered 3 days in advance to cultivate voles' feeding habits). -**Protective equipment**: gloves, disinfectant, sealed bags (for handling dead rats). 4. **Grouping and training** -Divide groups (3-5 people in each group) by farmland area, and designate the team leader to be responsible for coordination. -Training content: safe use of tools, identification of vole caves, and data recording methods. --- ###**2. Competition execution: both efficiency and safety** 1. **Strategy optimization** -**Cave irrigation method**: After discovering the cave, use a water pipe to inject water to force the voles out of the cave, and cooperate with the rat trap to contain it. -**Bait trap group**: Set up a set of bait + rat trap every 10 meters to form a dense line of defense. -**Night light interference**: Strong lights are set up on the edge of the field to disturb the vole's activities and force it to enter the trap area. 2. **Real-time monitoring and recording** -Each group reports the number of captures every hour, and the command dynamically adjusts resources (such as sending additional manpower to high-density areas). -Take pictures to record the location of the capture point, and draw a heat map to assist in subsequent cleaning. 3. **Safety control** -The use of highly toxic drugs is prohibited (avoid polluting the soil and killing other animals by mistake). -Set warning signs to prevent non-participants from approaching the trap area. --- ###**3. Incentive mechanism: Stimulate the motivation to participate** 1. **Reward design** -**Individual awards**: graded by catch quantity/weight (such as champion rewards agricultural tools or cash)； -**Team award**: Additional rewards for the group with the highest coverage rate (such as group dinners)； -**Special Contribution Award**: Additional recognition for those who discovered oversized nests or innovative rat catching methods. 2. **Instant feedback** -Broadcast the results in real time through the WeChat group to create a competition atmosphere. -Announce the group ranking every 2 hours to stimulate enthusiasm. --- ###**4. Finishing after the game: Environmental protection and long-term management** 1. **Harmless treatment** -Unified disinfection of dead mice with quicklime
