Mice baiting tips from Halazon bulletins
Halazon recommends placing bait where signs of rodent activity appear and keeping it out continually. He advises adding powdered sugar or mineral oil to bait to improve palatability and placing a cup of bait every 20 to 30 feet since mice rarely roam beyond 20 feet from nests. Peanut butter and cotton is another home bait to deter odor from dead mice, as mice seek cotton for nests. County offices offer two bulletins: Controlling Animal Damage in Kansas and Controlling Rats and Mice.
