    Ambush bait station works with bait or T-Rex Rat Trap

    By Davesandiego on 08/31/2016

    I use the Ambush Bait Station with the T-Rex Rat Trap (the trap fits perfectly); I chose not to use it with bait, after a previous problem with a rat dropping some of the bait, and my dog eating it. The Ambush Bait Station could be improved if it had a "window" so that I didn't have to open it up the bait station to see if there was a rat in the trap, or the bait was missing and/or significantly eaten.

    Solid design nearly impossible to open without keys

    By Jeff on 12/30/2014

    Verified Purchase

    The design is great, thick plastic material and highly tamper resistant. I have dogs in the area of these stations so I really put them through the ringer attempting to open forcefully, even smashing them against the pavement. The bait never fell out and I can safely say they are nearly impossible to open without the keys.

    I'm saving $$

    By Jim on 10/26/2016

    I've been paying $190/month for a private pest control service. I'm now doing it myself. This is a big savings. Deployed two of the Protecta EVO Ambush Bait Stations (each with a baited T-Rex snap-trap) and already killed a rat after 3 days. Only negative thing is disposing the body.

    Nice boxes. So far so good

    By Sean on 01/20/2018

    Boxes are easy to open/close. Using them with snap traps inside. Just recently started baiting & setting the traps as I left them out for the pesky rodents to acclimate to. So far so good!

    Protecta EVO

    By E. on 09/21/2018

    These work with the T-Rex rat traps. Using these for a rat problem along with Fastrac bait and it seems to have successfully treated a major problem with chipmunks too. Both bait and traps. I think the rats were using the old chipmunk burrows. The 8”d x 10”w x 3-1/2”h EVO stations are sturdy and tough enough to stand on, not too heavy but found they needed to be tethered with a line due to opussum and/or coon shaking them for the bait. The bait blocks are held with wire rods and there's a removable bottom tray to make some separation with the bottom of the station should water runoff enter. Designed with baffle rather than straight through passage that hides the snap trap/bait. Indoors, I can fit a Victor glue board inside with a little trimming. The security key to unlock these is an inconvenience, though easy to push in to open them. Problem is having that appx. 1” Square Key accessible. Bought 6 pack of stations and only 1 key is provided. I attached it to a big orange paint stick so I won't lose it making the bait refill rounds. Easy to disable/unlatch the plastic security tab lock (if desired) should you lose that only key. A simple wire tie thru a hole would be a fast fix....unless one expect kids to tamper with the stations, in that case keep the station locked. Overall - Very satisfied with the EVO Ambush bait station.

    Good product, but doesn't last forever.

    By Andy on 07/12/2019

    Great product and well priced but, In the hot Southern California sun the plastic hinge fails after a year or two. So, while it still works with the locking “door” the back of the door is readily accessible by a human making it no longer “locked” for kids and pets. So as long as you plan for that eventuality, you should be good.

    Bait stations are good.

    By Cliff on 09/06/2019

    Bait stations are good, seem like good quality at a reasonable price. However, the voles are not attracted to the bait (Contrac)

    Very Effective!

    By Walter on 09/27/2019

    I like this item a lot. Just remember to purchase the T-Rex trap for the inside! It works well and (usually) doesn't cause the rat to bleed, so it's easy to clean and re-set.

    Rodent bait station

    By David on 07/03/2020

    The protected Evo ambush bait station. For the price it is ok. It is sometimes hard to open and close. And you have to tie or fasten it down. It holds 4 one once blocks. Once fastened it can be cleaned out by removing the insert. Overall it is a good buy. 4 stars.

    Expectations met.

    By Mark on 05/23/2020

    I have ordered 3 of these a year ago. Arrived and performed to expectations. Was disappointed that only one key was provided. A year later, I had lost the key in the bushes, ordered a replacement and 2 more bait stations. Arrived to expectations. I am surprised that the plastic around the installed bait was gnawed at and damaged by rats/rodents. They are taking that bait, which is important, and I continue to see a activity in the bait stations, however I have not seen any live animals, which was the goal.

    Good compact station.

    By Kevin on 05/01/2020

    I really like the low profile of this station - it doesn't stick out like other models. As such, you will need to stake it in place since it doesn't come with a pavee or weight (to protect the station from dogs or children). For those worried about the smaller size, I had a fat city rat who had no problem squeezing in there to get bait.

    Great for interiors.

    By Sunny on 12/25/2020

    I actually ordered these by mistake. I was looking for a weighted outside station. I ended up using them for an interior basement rat treatment and it worked out great.

    Bait stations

    By Jim on 11/03/2023

    These work great and this design works great with opening up the box with a key its 1000 times better than the other style of keys - this style you insert the key and it pops right open
