Customer Reviews for Bait Plate Stations

I wasn't going to get these bait stations, "I don't need them", I thought. I threw them in the order at the last minute. Boy was I glad!!! A neat little accessory that kept the bait and gel all together. Made it easy to set-up and clean up. Well worth it!! Get the bait plate stations and make your life easy and safe.

These are inexpensive and easy to use. I partially filled them and put them by the cat dish. Within two days the ants were gone. And there was no worry of the cat stepping on it or poison getting in her food. Note: I partially fill them in case someone steps on it so it doesn't squeeze out the end.

The bait plate stations are very cheap quality at a high cost. I was desperate and the manufacturer knows that. A very inferior product!

I love these little plastic containers. Makes the bait so easy & clean to use - especially in my drawers and cupboards.

But did the job. took me a few minutes to figure out how to keep the gel on one side, the granules on the other, and keep the top secure.

There is no real divider to keep the two types of bait part--they will mix and you will waste both. There is also so much static electricity on these that the granules will stick to every part of these and you will not be able to close them. They will only work for protein bait if you assemble them first, peel off the tab access, then pour in the poison. Otherwise, be prepared to clean up every surface they are near. The gel bait can be put in them, then closed with the . For what they are, they are very pricey.

These are very light and a little flimsy. They would benefit from being constructed of a little heavier plastic. The divider between the two sides only partially separates the two sides, making it easy to mix the two baits when handling them. I would suggest using two bait stations. Put gel bait in one bait station and granular bait in a second bait station.

Items arrived on time but there were no instructions as to what kind of bait can be used. I thought that the stations already included carpenter ant bait.

  Expert response:
We apologize for any confusion. The Bait Plate Stations are empty stations that are designed for you to use 1-2 types of bait in the channels in the tray. You can use them with any liquid, gel, or granule baits that you desire. There is a great video about how to use these stations on the product page here (scroll down into the text): http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/bait-plate-stations-p-722.html

I've always placed the bait directly on my counters, but these bait stations are great. They come with small gel stickers so the station can be placed on a wall & out of the way! I would definitely recommend them when using the bait granules.

The stations came without any instructions on how to fill or assemble but I think I figured it out. The most negative aspect was that the adhesive dots provided would not support the weight of the station once I injected the gel, added the top, and tried to mount them on the side of a cabinet. Even doubling up the dots didn't help. Fix this problem and this could be worth the price. I liked the stations because I did not like the idea of injecting gel in my cabinets. I believe the whole system is worth the price and would still recommend it to anyone.

These bait stations worked very well with the gel bait, but not with the protein bait. The plastic in the bait stations created static electricity, making the protein bait "jump" onto the lid and into the lid tracks making it difficult to close the traps. I would recommend using another type of bait station with the protein bait. Also, if these stations are used outdoors, squirrels are quite adept at opening these stations and eating the bait. I had to use an empty can with a heavy rock on it to dissuade the squirrels.

These are a good way to put bait around the house without having to worry about gooping up your carpet, cabinets, or baseboards. Also, they make it easy to see if the pests are eating the bait since they're completely transparent. If you have dogs, make sure they're tucked away into a place they can't reach. Our dog thought these were toys!

I brought these to use as roach bait and place them around the house. They are neat east to remove and file and got rid of the roaches.

I am now able to bait carpenter ants without the bait being washed away during rain.

I purchased several packs of these two or three years ago, along with the Advance granular ant bait and the Optigard gel ant bait. I fill one side with the granular, and the other with the gel. This works well, especially considering the whole neighborhood appears to be on a giant ant hill. Not knowing what cycle the ants are in, these two bait options cover both the sweet and greasy cycles. No matter which cycle, it kills those little suckers! The only thing I didn't know when I bought these was that I needed to be patient until the ants were either dead, or gone, or both. The live ants carry off the dead bodies to feed to the den. Hopefully, the queen is killed in the process. Like I said, it's been two or three years, and just now I need more Bait Plate Stations. I still have quite a bit of gel and granular bait left.

I like using this versatile station. It can be very tight for small insects like ant or can be opened up for larger insects such as American Cockroaches. This helps prevent spilling.

Basically, one tube of Advion or MaxForce takes 12 of these. So order big!

I like the two compartments, so you can place grease and sugar baits separately. They could stand to be a little heavier as they are so light that they are easy to knock about and spill dry contents. The glue dot is not sufficient to secure the bait stations, either in vertical or horizontal positions. The price is good.

Totally serves its purpose. Helped hide the bait in places it would never stay dry. Also allowed us to lay multiple baits at one time. NO MORE ANTS!!!

There are no directions how to seal the station . . .

  Expert response:
Bait Plate Stations have a lid that simply snaps onto the bottom tray. There are small clear plastic sticker dots included with the stations if you would like to use that to secure the back of the station. There will be a gap in the front of the stations so that ants can crawl in and out to access the bait inside. Also, the stations can be dismantled for refilling.

The plates worked, as in I eventually saw dead roaches about the treated areas. And I didn't have the concrete stains the liquid poison I used was known for leaving. However, I got these so stray cats in the area were not in danger of also ingesting the liquid roach poison. The cats had opened them all. I thankfully have not come across any sick or dead cats, but yeah. I've resorted to taping them closed.

These are great for placing the Advecta roach bait. Much better than placing little squirts all over and inside your cabinets. You just have to keep them baited. ALL the roaches aren't gone yet (they came back) but I ran out of these bait stations so I ordered more. This time I have enough to get rid of them for good.

The plastic these are made from is not appropriate for this, I have never seen so mu h static electricity build up so fast. The granules literally leap from side to side making it impossible to put 2 different baits in without mixing them up completely and the granules also hop right out of the front! Keep in mind this is in high humidity and low humidity alike. I tried filling them in the garage where the ambient humidy had to be almost 90%, and in a humidifier controlled walk in closet that was 45% humidity, as well as a larger room that was somewhere between. The Bayer Maxforce granules were literally bouncing around and out. Besides making a mess, I have to believe that insects can sense this and not one of the bait stations has been visited despite using lots of different baits. A waste of time and money and created a mess with poison spilling God knows where. Avoid!

The Bait Plate Stations are inexpensive molded plastic "trays" but they do work well holding the gel bait I purchased and keeping it away from our cat. Although I was unsure about buying them, I am glad I did although the almost $11 dollars seems a bit expensive for what I received. I don't know if an order for one consists of more than one tray but I received more than the two trays I expected.

Perfect for the bait and keeps the poisons covered... yet effective. Glad I decided to order these.

This is my second order for these traps. The previous order was a year ago. Pros: Great price. Work well Con: Static electricity causes some bait to "fly around" during assembly.

The bait stations work but even at the most bulk purchasing option, .50 each is ridiculous. These things cost a fraction of a cent to make. Also they have been made without anti-static, which means your dry baits will cling to the top of the trap and "crawl" to the other side if you are using a gel in compartment two. The two sides are not separated with the lid, there is a gap, allowing the baits to get mixed up which makes it difficult to determine what your ants are feeding on in combined stations. In a pinch they work fine but I'll probably try to explore other options for future use.

Convenient to use but very flimsy. There is some critter by my house that likes the ant gel and figured out how to pull off small section you can remove from the top. Had to put tape and rubber bands all around the baits to keep the critter from eating the bait. Wish these came without that option so only the ants can eat the bait.

It would have been nice if a diagram or simple instructions came with the bait stations. They did not so I had to play around to figure it out... and I'm still not sure if I'm setting them up correctly.

Can hold both liquid and granular bait at the same time. Can be cleaned and reused multiple times. Adjustable opening allows use for both small and large insects.
