    Q
    How many First Strike soft bait bags should I put in lg pet-resistant plastic bait stations?
    I have several large black plastic outdoor bait stations (5-sided, with the side against the wall being 12"). I opened it with a Proteca key & found the interior is divided into sections, with a thin aluminum rod laying across a couple of the dividers. What is the purposes of that small rod? In which sections of the base of the bait station do I place the bait? Thanks for your help.
    A
    The rod is for you to thread through the bait so that the bait is held in place so rodents cannot relocate it. We reocmmend you start off putting 3-4 baits per station (on the rod) and then checking the stations after 1 week. If all of the bait is gone you need to use more bait. If there is still a lot of bait left you should use less bait. The amount of bait you need to use will always be based on the rodent population in your area at any given time.

    Q
    Will First Strike soft bait kill squirrels?
    I also have a squirrel problem and they are getting into my mouse bait stations and eating the bait. It's fine with me if it kills them but I would like to know for sure so I can take other measures if First Strike will not kill them.
    A
    First Strike Soft bait is not labeled to kill squirrels. However, we recommend that you call the manufacturer to answer that question. You can contact Lipha Tech at 888-331-7900.

    Q
    How do you secure First Strike packets in the EZ Klean Rodent Bait Stations?
    Do you just skewer them on one of the horizontal metal rods right through the middle of the packet? I assume they should be secured somehow to keep the rats from taking the packet out where non-target animals could get poisoned.
    A

    You are correct, you simply skewer the First Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide on the rods in the EZ Klean Bait Stations.

    Q
    WillFirst Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide sicken cats and birds that eat mice killed by First Strike?
    Concerned that mice ingesting difethialone in house will die outdoors and be eaten by other animals who might be harmed by First Strike.
    A
    In most cases secondary poisoning is not going to be a problem unless the predatory animal eats many rodents that have succumbed to the effects of the First Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide. The exact amount of mice that must be eaten for the predatory animal to become sick will depend on the size and the health of the animal but usually they would need to consume near their own body weight of bait to get sick.

    Q
    When placed outside, will First Strike kill chipmunks?
    A
    First Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide is not labeled for chipmunks, it has not been tested for chipmunks, and we cannot recommend you use it for this type of application. Since chipmunks are rodents they will most likely die after eating rodenticides. If you decide to use First Strike bait you must place it into tamper resistant bait stations to avoid having non-target animals consume the bait.

    Q
    Do we need to open the First Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide packets before we put them out?
    Does blue part come out of white pack???
    A
    It is not necessary to open the First Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide packets. These packets are specially designed to allow the aroma from the bait to escape. Rodents like to gnaw and they will gnaw through the packets.
