Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Gerri the NVT Guru discussing mouse management for Western Australian growers. Speakers emphasize monitoring, timing baiting to food-load decline, and inspecting bait placements (e.g., baiting off the back of tractors/cedar) as efficient control strategies during sowing.

So baiting off the back of the cedar is one of the things that farmers back over east do really, really well. They're really switched onto it as a really efficient way of dealing with mice. But as I talk to more and more farmers, they can see the logic of, well, it's only one pass. While I'm sowing the crop, I'm treating my mice.
Well, number one, you've got to monitor. Number two, do your baiting once your food loads down and then start monitoring again afterwards.
You've got to get out there and inspect it. That seems to be a real take home message.
