  • To avoid this, it is very important to keep the following things in mind before storage-

  • Clean the store before keeping the wheat crop in the storage. 

  • If there is already an infestation of rats in the store, it is crucial to de-infest the place before storing.

  • If there is an attack of rats after wheat storage, then rats can be controlled by mixing medicine in wheat or gram flour.
