Mouse Baiting Techniques
Successful baiting for mice is to have many rodent bait placements containing a small amount of bait, rather than a large amount of bait in fewer locations.
If the infestation is severe, you can't have enough bait placements.

Competing Food Sources: If there is a source of food (other than the mouse bait), regardless of the quality of the bait, the mouse may never touch the mouse bait. If you have two bait placements placed 20 feet apart, the mice may never visit the bait, if there is a competing food source. Place the mouse bait shorter distances from each other.
Walls: Place bait close to the walls, if the bait is placed several inches off the wall, the mice might bypass it.
Entry Locations: Place mouse bait at openings on the outside of the building where mice may enter, as well as all doorways that remain open in the buildings.
