I hate mice, they have ruined too many things of mine. This is what have been doing for the past 5 to 7 years and it works. I have 12 inch pieces of schedule 40 with a 1 inch holes on each side and end caps(not glued). Inside I put 2 bars of 'one bite' and placed around the house and yard. I know you can buy bait stations but I also use washed out square Juice containers for the barns. I went thru 10+lbs in the first few months I started, but now it's just quarterly maintenance.
