ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for controlling ectoparasites of small rodents, thereby preventing the transmission of diseases by arthropod vectors. The invention further provides an enclosure having openings for entry of rodents, and having arranged therein one or more applicators which are configured to contact rodents entering the chamber and having an ectoparasiticide on the applicator for application to the rodents.
