Control practices are the same as for previous seasons. For 

 the control of meadow mice, reduction of vegetative cover during 

 the growing season will help. During the winter, under snow cover, 

 it will have little effect. 



The use of zinc phosphide-treated baits still is recommended 

 for the control of both meadow and pine mice. Bait broadcasted at 

 the rate of 6-10 pounds per acre should give adequate control of 

 meadow mice. 



For pine mice, broadcasted bait will give some control. Better 

 results will be achieved if zinc phosphide baits are trail baited 

 either by hand or machine. 



NOTE : Before applying any toxic bait, a permit still is required 

 from the Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife, 100 Cambridge 

 Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02202.
