Successful baiting for mice is to have many bait placements containing a small amount of bait, rather than a large amount of bait in fewer locations.
If the infestation is severe, you can't have enough bait placements.
If there is a source of food (other than the mouse bait), regardless of the quaility of the bait, the mouse may never touch the mouse bait. If you have two bait placements placed 20 feet apart the mice may never visit the bait, if there is other sources of food, so place the bait shorter distances from each other.
Place bait close to the walls, if the bait is placed several inches off the wall , the mice might bypass it.
Place mouse bait is all openings on the outside of the building where mice may enter, as well as all doorways that remain open in the buildings.
In places like restaurants, warehouses, and other commercial establishments, multiple bait placements may be done by permanent mouse bait stations on a year round basis.
Inspect possible harboraging areas of the mouse.
Place bait between possible harboraging areas and the current source of food.
This would encourage the mice to encounter the bait during its travels
Inspect possible feeding areas such as piles of droppings, shredded paper, tracks, mouse odors, in darkened areas.
Place bait in these areas
Often there is a high rodent activity in corners of rooms and in cabinets, where two surfaces join at angles. Rodents have a strong tactile feedback in run in those areas.
Place bait there.
You may encourage feeding by using bait stations, like the Protecta Mouse Bait Stations, RTU Mouse Bait Stations or the Keyless Mouse Bait Station( both are tamper proof to keep non targeted animals and children out of the bait box)
These staitons providethe mouse an attractive feeding location.
Space bait placements 8-12 feet apart. Use the shorter distances in severe infestations.
It is important to follow up and check bait usage after you placement of the bait.
Move any existing bait placemnent another 5 feet in another direction to intersect with another mouse territory.
Remember when placing baits that mice may be living above their food source such as attics and suspended ceilings.
They also may be living below their food source in such areas as crawl spaces, floor voids and basements.
Mouse populations do have individual prefences for bait.
