Helpful but hard to work with
By Rae on 09/23/2017
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.

Bait Plate Stations

I had an issue with little black ants and used this bait station with MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel in one side and Advance 375A Granular Bait in the other. The stations were easy to fill and assemble, and I felt comfortable that a pet could not get to the bait. The only issue was the little black ants would not crawl on the stations. I put the bait on tin foil and they were all over it. I am planning on trying these stations outside where other type ants live and see if they work there.

Bait Plate not sure they are necessary
By Cathy on 07/14/2014
Verified Purchase
I purchased and filled the bait plates as per the instructions, and they neatly held the bait, and kept them safe from my pets. However, I never saw any of these being used--I never saw an ant go inside to get the bait. I did, however, see a bunch of ants go for the bait that spilled when someone accidentally moved it. I never saw an ant inside any of the traps I placed.

Poorly Made

Bought the wrong thing
By Paul on 05/24/2020
Without knowing that there was no bait, I bought these. They are of no use when empty. I then ordered more of the Advance bait stations that I have used in the past. Because there was no charge for the shipping on the first order, it's not worth sending them back for a minimal refund. I will continue to use the Advanced bait stations because they work for me. Regards,

How do these things work?
By R on 08/21/2020
When I got these they came with no instructions and I had no idea how to use them. It took a lot of trial &error to figure them out. In case it in the same boat the flat part you tear the top off and you connect the 2 together and the bait goes inside the area between them. I was hoping they were more enclosed than this, because I have a cat & wanted to leave some bait low, but I am less likely to so with these. They have some that like little boxes & they are a solid unit I would feel more secure with that kind if you want to use them with pets around.

Bait Plate Stations
By T.r. on 10/09/2020
These are a good idea in concept, but when using granular bait, static electricity in the plastic stations causes the granular bait to fly out of the enclosure when the top section is applied to the bottom section of enclosure! These are really only good for gel baits.

Electrostatic charge causes granular bait to fly around
By Charl on 10/22/2020
Verified Purchase
The problem with these traps is that they have build an electrostatic charge so when you fill them with a granular ant bait (in my case I was using Maxforce Complete Granular bait), and place the top half onto the bottom, the granules start flying around both inside and out of the trap entrance as soon as you pick the trap up. Not very practical as it creates a mess!
Bait Plate Stations

Units came with absolutely no instructions at all. That's ok if you've used them before, but not if you are a first time purchaser of bait to deal with carpenter ants. Granted, didn't take long to figure out how they go together, but no clue as to what the labels would be used for, or the little sticky gel dots.
Expert response:
We are sorry to hear of any issues. We are available to assist with instructions if needed and also have a video on how to use the stations below
