| Get with an exterminator who will sell you some of the coumadin based poisions (same stuff we take for heart problems). Then get some 1 1/2 pvc pipe, cut it about a foot long and place three pieces in a "tee" You can pour the poision down the top and sit it along the outside walls all around the shed and just inside the doors especially. The "tee" shape helps keep it sitting beside the wall so it doesn't roll around or get in the way. The pipe also help keep the poision contained so pets or kids are less apt to get into it.
You have to keep poision in the tubes all the time. If you have a huge population you might want to put some out and after they eat it up wait a couple weeks to put some more out giving the first one's time to die and not let them eat a second batch before they die.
Mice are basically blind. They run along walls etc not because they are scared, but because they feel their way along with their wiskers. By placing the tubes along the wall the mice will run into them as they go along the wall, they will sense they are inside something and feel safe so they will stop, the poision is right there and they will eat while they are there. Even if you put the same product out in pans they will eat out of the tubes first because they like being out of sight.
We've done it for years like this. In all the years I sold seed and ran a distribution warehouse we very rarely had any mice give us a problem. It does work, but you have to keep product in the tubes. | |
