A rodent control mixture includes a blended chewing gum, salt, fast rising yeast, and flavor additive such as alfalfa powder. The blended chewing gum may be a spearmint-flavored Chiclets chewing gum blended into a powdered form. Relative weights of ingredients of the rodent control feed mixture include two weight units of the powdered gum, two weight units of the salt, one weight unit of the fast-rising yeast, and one weight unit of the flavor additive. A rodent control feed is formed by mixing the rodent control mixture with water and oil into a rodent food such as rolled oats. The rodent control feed is then placed into the burrow holes of the target rodent such as into gopher holes of a gopher burrow. Beneficially, the rodent control mixture and associated feed is less harmful to humans, domestic animals and wildlife than poisons such as Strychnine commonly utilized to kill rodents.

This disclosure describes biological pesticides that include biological mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), and their application. Provided MEL-based pesticides are microbially produced by through microbial (fungal) fermentation of plant-based derivatives or plant-derived materials as a substrate. The biologically active components are obtained from multiple stage bio-processes including transformation, biochemical reaction, extraction, and other processing of raw materials. The synthesis, separation, concentration, purification, preparation of biological pesticides, and their application as a crop pathology treatment, are described. These biological pesticides may be used disease prevention and control for crops and other plants.
