Troubleshooting
Rodents are not consuming the bait.
Ensure the bait is placed along their travel paths and near signs of activity. Try using the bait in a tray instead of the sachet, or vice versa. Rodents may be wary of new items in their environment; allow a few days for them to investigate. Check for alternative food sources that may be more attractive.
Product appears to be attracting insects.
This is uncommon but can occur if the bait is exposed to moisture or stored improperly. Ensure the storage area is dry and the product is kept sealed. Clean up any spilled bait immediately. Consider using a bait station to protect the bait.
Sachets are difficult to place in tight spaces.
Consider using a bait station that can be secured or placed strategically. Alternatively, carefully open the sachet and pour the bait into a suitable, secure container that can be placed in the tight space.
