The total area of ​​rat extermination is 139,335 hectares, concentrated on rice fields, vegetable crops, fruit trees, banks, fields, mounds and places where rats often live and breed. Tu Ky district has the largest area of ​​rat extermination at 14,890 hectares, Hai Duong city has the least 6,068 hectares.

When killing rats in a concentrated manner, it must be carried out simultaneously among localities, mainly by manual measures such as setting traps, fumigating, pouring water, clearing bushes and hunting rats. Particularly in the first phase (winter-spring rice planting) and the fourth phase (summer rice planting), in addition to applying manual measures, localities must simultaneously kill rats with chemicals (setting bait) on the entire crop area in the fields.

The provincial budget supports the cost of purchasing drugs for a concentrated rat extermination campaign (phase 1 or phase 4). Localities arrange funds to support the purchase of rat extermination drugs for 1-2 phases, including 1 concentrated rat extermination campaign. Localities establish rat extermination teams and organizations to ensure absolute safety for people and pets.
