Mice in grainstore

We seem to have a handful of mice we can't seem to rid from our grain stores. We have grain in store all year round, so we seem to have trouble getting rid of them permanently. Currently got poison positioned all around the outside of the stores and have seen the odd dead one, but can never seem to clear them right up!
From reading previous threads would glue boards be the best option? Have tried a few of the plastic mouse traps with limited success.

Any advice appreciated.

Racumin foam is very good but bloody expensive (one can does go a long way) . Put it where they have holes and they get it on their fur and groom it off. Found it great for grain and potato stores where its hard to get them to take poison
 
I used traps in combination with one of those sound boxes that do all sorts of high pitch noises, can’t really decide whether it worked or not... traps and live catch box traps worked

I use these in the grain store.

Place by the walls and bait with chocolate catches them like nothing 👍

Bit of a tongue in cheek question but how do you kill and dispose of the bodies?

I haven’t come across many stores that you can keep mice out of.
Monitoring the store and acting to. Ontt and eradicate if their is an issue is good practice, as long as you record it all 😉
