Protecta LP Rat Bait Station - Single Trap

These were a great price. My Pest Exterminator was charging me the price of all 3 to "loan" 1 of his. Sadly, rats in your neighborhood does NOT mean your house is dirty. They reproduce rapidly and search out bird feed tables etc. If they're in your area, better to bait them than let them find there way into the walls or attics and chew through wiring which at the least is expensive and the worst, can cause fires. These bait stations are ideal and come with a couple of methods of baiting as well as a key to open the traps (so kids can't get into them). Also, the way the bait is held inside, no cat or dog can reach in and get the bait either. The pesky rat has to enter the station and work its way deep inside and the bait is held solidly in a compartment. You cannot reach in and touch it. None the less, common sense should always prevail when working with the poison, both handling it (always wear gloves), and making sure there's no temptation for the kids to play with the stations. Very pleased with the quality. You should be able to buy the bait at your local Hardware Store. The blue/green stuff seems to work best.

As a few other reviewers stated, these bait stations will work well for rats, mice, chipmonks, voles, and other small rodents. We had quite a problem with burrowing rodents and mice outside - almost overrun. I purchased several (4-5) of these bait stations and placed them around various sides of the house (outside) and especially in corners or where rodents traveled. The volume (capacity) of bait area coupled with access openings make this an idea bait station. Mine did come with a key to open the bait station as well as several combinations of bait rods for holding bait inside the bait station. Within a week all populations were knocked back...and quickly. I would highly recommend using Bromethalin as a one feed kill bait (the small blocks with holes in the bait to attach to the bait rods work best). Bromethalin works wonders - super fast knock-down power. Please know Bromethalin is toxic to dogs/cats/pets so it's important to keep the bait secured inside these bait stations. There are other types of bait that will also work, but when I needed super quick kill knock down power, compared to other types of bait (such as diphacinone), Bromethalin worked the best for me. My last recommendation with these bait stations are to place them as much as possible in areas maybe under pallets, or under smaller low space areas as raccoons will try to access the stations and will try to take them away if they are accessible to the point raccoons can grab them and pull them away. As such, I place a cinder block on top of my bait stations and it seems to work for the most part. You can also drill a hole through the bottom of this bait station and drill a hole through a flat piece of masonry block and run a bolt or anchor through them both so the bait station is essentially attached to the flat piece of masonry to avoid raccoons from dragging it away - they WILL try! Remember...if you tackle the rodent issue outside, the less it is likely you will have to worry about trying to tackle any issues inside...

The unit itself is fine. Just to be clear, and as stated in description, ONE KEY PER ORDER; In other words, if you order 20 of these bait stations, you will only get ONE key. Seller referred me to another site where I can buy additional keys for $6.45 each (+ shipping). I personally bought 3 units, one for me, one for neighbor and one for relative. We all need our own keys. I read comments from others in the Q&A that stated you get plenty of keys. Not true. I haven’t tried the flat head screw driver method that someone else suggested to get these open. Easy to use = 1 star (will be easy for the person who gets the key); Value for money = 1 star (since I now have to buy two more keys @ $6.45 ea + shipping); all the rest = 5 stars Seller did respond promptly.

I wanted a very tough, well constructed bait box that was highly resistant to dogs. This is it! I'm not so sure I like having to use a special key, but it will certainly do the job. Just be sure you use it with the older style rat bait. You can tell by reading the package. If it says Vitamin K is the antidote, then you have the right stuff. If your animals eat it, the vet can save them. On the other hand, if you use the newer, neurologic poison, you can kiss them goodbye!

Great product. My first experience with this product was from a local exterminator who installed 2 with a sampling of the Tomcat rodent bait blocks. They worked well, but his price was way over the top. A few months later I noticed a few more rodents in other areas, so I decided to get a few more stations. I looked them up on Amazon and found exact same product at a fraction of the cost.. I ordered straight away, they came within a couple of days. I loaded them up with bait blocks and out them in service. For now I'm happy to report 'problem solved'. These stations are a bigger than many that I looked at, and not suitable for living areas (aesthetics) - but are perfect for the attic and in the yard and out buildings.

It holds bait. Rats die, life is good.

Product is good delivery took 21 dat days wrote to the company and no response would not order from them

As the owner operator of my own business. I can’t get over the price these bait boxes are selling at .. back to buy 20 more .. the savings is incredible for such a great well made product .. p.s .. never place these in your attic .. use a snap trap .. rat eats the bait then will die in your attic .. the stench is nauseating
