BAITING TIPS FOR MICE:
Never Use Rodenticide Bait that could come in contact with a child or pet. Be
sure the bait is secured in a tamper resistant bait station such as the
RTU or Protecta Mouse.
Proper placement of baits and the distance between placements is critically
important. Where there is an abundance of food, it is especially important to
place baits 8 - 12 feet apart. This will help insure that you intercept the
mouse between its harborage and possible food sources.
Another useful tip is to make use of tamper resistant rodent bait stations.
Bait stations provide attractive feeding locations for mice and encourages more
mice to consume more bait in a shorter time period. They also keep your
bait dry and free of dust and debris.
Place your baits in areas where there is evidence of mouse activity. Remember
that your mice live in a multi-dimensional world. They could be above their food
source (attics, cabinets, etc.) or below (basements, crawl spaces, lower floors
of a building, sub floors, etc.)
Mice are not attracted to old, insect infested or moldy bait. Inspect often
and replace or move undesirable baits Making many placements (each containing
small amounts) is an important key to successfully baiting mice.
Tips for Mouse Snap Traps
Rodents enter a home through holes
the size of a dime and run along walls, not
over open spaces.
1. Place mouse traps perpendicular to the wall.
2. Place mouse traps out unset for a few days so
rodents can become familiar with it.
3. Place mouse traps where rodent activity is
seen (sign of chewing, droppings, runway, burrow).
4. Leave mouse traps undisturbed for at least two
days before moving to a new location.
5. Check mouse traps daily and replace as needed.
6. Wear gloves when disposing of rodent.
