Show Rats and Mice Can Be Effectively Controlled on Farm Rat and mice control can be effective ef-fective about farms and homes by proper us- of warfarin type bait, pointed out Joel C. Barlow, Utah County Agricultural Agent. "Properly mixed bait, exposed throughout the year in well constructed con-structed bait boxes will kill any rats and mice that invade the farm after the initial infestation of these rodents has once been cleaned up." he adds. "Rats and mice seem to. recognize recog-nize no danger from warfarin bait. They must eat it repeatedly, on ensuing days, to have maximum control. Usually feeding on the warfarin bait for five to six successive suc-cessive days results in death of these undesirable pests." Coarsely-ground yellow corn meal is a good carrier for the poison. Corn meal mixed with an equal amount of rolled oats can aso be used. Five percent mineral oil may be added plus the warfarin warfar-in poison. Prepared warfarin baits are available on the market, ready to use, M r. Barlow said. |
