MED4PEST

🐭🌱 Fighting farm pests the smart way! Meet SPYCE, the open-source rodent monitoring tool from the EU MED4PEST project. 📊 First presented at EGU2025 by @GiannisLouloud4, SPYCE supports eco-friendly rodent management across the Mediterranean. 👉 med4pest.org

🌿 As part of the #Med4Pest project, our partner MetaMeta Anatolia is developing a plant-based biorodenticide! 🔬 LD50 trials are testing its palatability, effectiveness & mortality ,a step toward sustainable rodent control.

Stakeholder engagement and capacity building are central elements of ecological rodent management #EBRM. This evening rapevine growers of Asites Herakleion get together to share experiences in our @Med4pest workshop.

🚨 New publication! 🚨 "Farmers' perception, knowledge, and control attitudes of rodents infesting cereal growing areas in Morocco" is now published in Pest Management Science (IF 3.8, Q1). Part of @PrimaProgram Project @Med4pest.🌾🐭 Link: scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

🧐 New study on rodent management in Crete’s greenhouses! Chemical control remains dominant, but non-chemical EBRM shows huge potential for reducing crop losses and environmental impact. Time for a shift! 🌱🐀 #Med4Pest #EBRM #SustainableFarming

Ecologically Based Rodent Management (EBRM) helps control rodent populations using nature! 🔹 Encourage natural predators 🔹 Modify habitats (limit food & shelter) 🔹 Use biological controls 🔹 Implement diverse crop management Sustainable, eco-friendly, and reduces chemical use

🌿 Bio-Rodenticides: Eco-Friendly Rodent Control! 🌱 Natural, botanical ingredients Biodegradable, no toxic buildup Safe for pets & wildlife 🐾 Effective in 3-5 days ⏳ Ditch harmful chemicals – go green with MED4PEST! 🌍 Learn more: med4pest.org 🌐 #EcoFriendly

🔸 Why EBRM? Sustainable rodent control through prevention & eco-friendly methods. At Rodent Green: 1️⃣ Prevent: Limit access to food, water & shelter. 2️⃣ Control: Natural predators & bio-rodenticides. 3-Step Process: 1️⃣ Client Intake 2️⃣ Field Inspection 3️⃣ Action Plan

🐭 Protect Your Stock from Rodents! 🌿 Rodent Green and MED4pest use eco-friendly methods to stop infestations and ensure food safety in storage areas. ✅ Site inspections ✅ Risk assessments ✅ Prevention plans & staff training For more details: med4pest.org

Mondo, the evil skink🦎(possibly C. ocellatus), caught stealing our chocolate cookies🍪, thanks to the @PrimaProgram @Med4pest rodent monitoring device. Good job @ChiragPadubidri and @CYENSCoE team, we will get Splinter next time! #biodiversity #EBRM

🧐 Monitoring rodents = protecting crops! 🌾 Effective rodent control starts with inspection & tracking. Using tools like grid sampling, camera traps, and remote sensing, we can spot risks & act fast. 🎯 For more details, visit our website! med4pest.org #med4pest

Hello mouse🐁, say cheese🧀! First "rodent" captured in Greece 🇬🇷@HMUniversity by SPYCE [SPY-miCE], the IoT Smart Sensor-Trap Station for Rodent Monitoring designed by @PrimaProgram @GSRT_GR @Med4pest. Check out the code by @AndreasKami and his team at github.com/superworld-cye….

Thrilled to share that our Moroccan team participated in the #VARENA International Congress with 3 poster presentations on rodent management in Morocco! 🐭🇲🇦 We proudly secured 2nd and 3rd place prizes! 🥈🥉 #MED4PEST #VARENA2024 #AgriculturalPests #RodentManagement

Hey @sukruesin @SouadElHajjaji1 @AndreasKami @LuwiekeBosma, one experiment 👩‍🔬🐁less for @PrimaProgram @Med4pest

Just had an amazing kick-off meeting with the team! 🚀 Energized by the passion, ideas, and collaboration flowing. Ready to conquer new challenges and make big things happen! 💪 #TeamWork #KickOffMeeting #MED4PEST

Arrived in beautiful Rabat for the General Assembly meeting of the PRIMA-Med funded Med4Pest project! Excited to reunite with partners and dive into collaborative work. #Med4Pest #Rabat #Morocco

Finding the right plant and the right dose is the most challenging part, as is trapping rats and bringing them to the lab. A lot of people are working at lab to find an LD50 dose. Paraffin-coated baits are ready for tomorrow's experiment! Fingers crossed!

#Didyouknow that in Asia, under traditional rice farming systems, rodents are responsible for chronic production losses ranging from 5–10% annually? Shockingly, a mere 5% reduction in rice production amounts to approximately 30 million tons, enough to feed 180 million people 🌾

Managing #rodents is vital for community health as they can transmit 26 #diseases, including rabies and Lyme disease. Diseases can spread through contact with rodent #droppings, #urine, or #dander. Rats, especially, are prevalent and pose a significant threat to #publichealth.
