Field Mice In Orchard Affects Idaho Crops
Field mice, mainly meadow mice, have damaged Idaho orchards and alfalfa fields, girdling trees and threatening fruit yields with losses in dollars. The notice outlines prevention via sanitation, soil covering wounds, and bridge grafting for large trees, plus a poison formula using gluten starch, stephamine alkaloid, baking soda, corn syrup, and saccharine mixed with wheat. It urges systematic poisoning only in infested areas and protection for birds.
