• Actively search for, remove and destroy dead and moribund rodents whilst bait is being used

• Always record the number and locations of bait stations for the purpose of bati replacement and later removal
• For rats, place 1 to 3 bait stations at intervals of 5 to 9m in infested areas
• For mice, place single bait stations at 2 to 3 m intervals in infested areas
• Place bait stations so as to prevent access to non-target animal.  Fix the stations securely to the substrate with nails or wire, where necessary.
• Use the greater number of bait stations and shorter distance between bait placements when infestations are heavy.
• Conduct initial inspection of bait points after 3 or 4 days. Replace bait stations where the bait has been consumed.  Repeat approximately 4 days later and then weekly. Replace contaminated or spoiled baits.
• Baiting for at least 2 weeks (3 to 4 pulses) will be necessary to reduce rat.mouse numbers to a low level.  Although heavy infestations may require longer treatments to achieve complete eradication.
• Discontinue the treatment when effective control has has been achieved and remove all bait and bait stations unless a maintenance treatment is to be undertaken.

• For rats and mice place one station at intervals of between 15 and 30 metres in areas prone to rodent infestation
• Place bait stations so as to prevent access to non-target animals.  Always use tamper-resistant bait stations for monitoring and maintenance treatments and fix with nails or wire if necessary.
