The total number of rodent species in the houses during two successive years (2004-2005 and 2005 -2006) was 451 and 335 individuals, respectively. The white bellied Rattus rattus frugivorus was the most dominant species in this locality, while the total number of rodent species in the granaries during the same years was 115 and 120 individual, respectively. The white bellied rat Rattus rattus frugivorus was recorded the highest number of rodents.
