Declarations
:
: Ethics Committee approval was not necessary in our study, as all collections were conducted as part of the Municipal Pest Control Campaign. The use of snap-traps is one of the usual solutions for pest control. Following the Codes of Good Practice, these traps should be placed in areas or points not accessible to nontarget organisms (such as sewers or inside rodent safe stations in case of open areas) and checked frequently. We followed these criteria. There is no further legislation in our country on this issue.
