OUR ADVICE:

Unlike rats, mice tend to feed in small quantities, in several places, at different times.
We recommend placing the following doses in infested areas:
- Paste: 2 to 3 sachets approximately every 3 to 7 m*
- Blocks: 1 to 2 blocks approximately every 3 to 7 m*
- Cereals: approximately 25g every 1 to 3 m*

*depending on the level of infestation

Weight: 12 to 22 g.
Length of head + body (excluding tail): 6 to 10 cm.
The tail is usually longer than the head and body.
Rather pointed ears, quite big.

5 to 10 litters per year,
