What is the recommended bait placement strategy for glue boards?

• A. Many small bait placements
• B. A few large placements
• C. Bait only near doors
• D. Bait only in corners

Answer: (A)

Maximize the chance rodents encounter bait by spreading it out. Using many small bait placements across the area, rather than a single large patch, increases the number of opportunities a rodent has to contact a board as it runs along typical travel routes. This broad coverage improves detection and capture rates and reduces the risk that a single location misses active activity. Placing bait only near doors or only in corners confines exposure to limited paths and is less effective because rodents often move along walls and through various runways; spreading small placements across the space aligns with their movement and habits.
