START NOW to reduce the annual fall movement of rodents indoors. As the weather cools, rodents migrate to livestock and poultry houses seeking warmer conditions and food sources. The same migrations occur in cities, suburbs, ruralpolitan acreages, farms and ranches.
Jim Eadie shares ways to get ahead of the migration using bait stations. He says early placement is vital because rodents are suspicious of new objects; entering a new bait station may take several weeks. Standard recommendations call for placing stations 8- to 12-feet apart for mice and 15- to 30-feet for rats.
