You found one of our rodent bait stations.

It controls rats and mice around this property. Rodents chew wiring, contaminate food and spread disease, so the owner has hired us to keep them in check.

Contrac rodent bait blocks made by Bell Laboratories. The active ingredient is bromadiolone (0.005%), an anticoagulant rodenticide registered with the EPA and applied by a WSDA-licensed technician.

Rodents go inside the locked box to feed. The bait works slowly over a few days, so other rodents don't connect it to getting sick and keep feeding until the population drops.

Rats and mice travel along walls and fence lines. Stations go along those routes, close to where rodents are getting into buildings, so the problem is stopped before it gets inside.

Every month. We inspect each station, refresh the bait as needed, note any activity and make sure the station is secure.

The station is tamper-resistant and locked, and the bait is secured on rods inside so it can't be shaken out. Pets and children can't reach it. Please don't move or open the station.
