Treatment of Mice

Effective control of mice involves sanitation, mouse proof construction and population reduction. The first two are good as preventive measures. When a mouse infestation already exists though, some form of population reduction is always necessary. Reduction techniques include trapping and poisoning. Trapping will only reduce a mouse population, it will rarely eliminate it completely. Mice breed very quickly so elimination is the desired action. Poison baiting is the quickest way to deal with a mouse infestation. The right type of bait in the right places has to be used for the whole population to feed on the bait for the treatment to be successful. Mice are territorial and if the bait is not in a mouse’s territory then it won’t take the bait.
