Rodent Control Safety Tips

BAITING TIPS FOR RATS:

Never Use Rodenticide Bait that could come in contact with a child or pet. Be sure the bait is secured in a tamper resistant bait station such as the Protecta LP.

Although rats will consume bait pellets, they most often prefer bait blocks. The shape of bait blocks being used by professionals is more attractive to rats and encourages them to consume more bait in a single feeding. Blocks also repel moisture better than pellets do. This is very important when placing bait in burrows, under buildings, in sewers, in basements or any area frequented by rats.

Try to intercept the rats, placing bait or bait stations between their possible harborage and food source.

Rat baits should be placed 15 feet apart.

Place baits in rat harborage such as burrows and ground voids.

Rats (especially Roof Rats) could be living above or below their food source. Use this knowledge to properly place baits between the rodent pest and his food.

To encourage rats to eat more of your bait, place rodenticides in tamper resistant bait stations. Not only will this give the rat a cozy place to consume your bait, it also keeps your bait fresh and attractive to rodents.

Never under-feed the population. An adult rat can consume an ounce of bait per day. This means that a dominant rat will readily eat all that he can, and then hoard the rest of the bait from two or more bait stations, giving the rest of the population a chance to breed faster than you can kill them!

Inspect your bait placements on a regular basis. Not only can you run out of bait prematurely, your bait might also be contaminated by moisture or accidentally moved out of position.

Once you have placed your rodenticides in their proper stations and locations, avoid moving any objects in the baited area. The rats need time to adjust to anything new in their environment, so do not "rearrange the furniture!"

Technician's Tip:
Step 1:  Pre-place traps-
To allow rats to get accustomed to traps, place them backwards against the wall and bait them without setting them for 3-7 days.


Step 2:  Set The Trap-Once rats get used to the traps return to bait & set them with the open mouth towards the wall.

 Order T-rex rat trap.

 

 

Technician's Tip:

Place zip ties through securing holes on the T-rex rat trap to fasten traps to rafters, pipes, or other areas where rats can travel.
