Why is a bait station required by law for rodent control?

In the UK, it is legally required to use a tamper-resistant bait station when baiting mice and rats to protect children, pets, and non-target wildlife from accidental contact with rodenticides.

How does the bait station protect children and pets?

The bait station features a lockable, tamper-resistant lid that securely encloses the bait, preventing children and pets from accessing the rodenticide inside.

What are the dimensions of this bait station?

The bait station has compact dimensions of 226 x 120 x 76mm, allowing it to fit discreetly in various locations.

How often should I check and refill the bait station?

It is recommended to check the bait station regularly, ideally every few days, to monitor bait consumption and replenish as needed until rodent activity ceases.

Troubleshooting

Rodents are not entering the bait station.

Relocate the bait station to a different area where you have observed more significant rodent activity or droppings. Ensure it is placed directly along walls or known rodent pathways. Check that the bait inside is fresh and appealing.

The lid is difficult to open or close/lock.

Ensure there is no debris obstructing the locking mechanism or hinges. Clean any dirt or grime. If the issue persists, check for any damage to the plastic components that might be preventing proper alignment.

Bait is consumed very quickly, but rodent problem persists.

This indicates high rodent activity. Consider placing additional bait stations in other active areas to increase coverage. Continue to monitor and replenish bait regularly until activity subsides. Ensure the bait type is effective for the species present.
