QUESTION:
How many feet apart should you place LP rodent stations?
ANSWER:
This is a good question, and there really are two separate answers. The unfortunate answer, but one that is necessary, is that you may be at the mercy of an in-house inspector for some commercial accounts, such as a food warehouse with an on-site auditor or inspector who has his or her own guidelines on this. I will avoid naming names because there probably are several different agencies that do this, but some PMP’s run into difficulties trying to convince the on-site inspector that he is requiring something that is not necessary. The industry “standard” for so many years has been that we should locate stations for rats every 20 feet and for mice every 10 feet, on the basis that rats or mice may not travel any further than these distances for their food resources.
