Customer Reviews for Protecta Landscape Bait Station

The overall design of the bait station is good; however, using the included key to open it hasn't worked out for me. I purchased two of the bait stations and the first one opened fine. The second did not open easily; I had to work the key quite a bit to get it to open. A few weeks later, I went to check the bait stations to see if I needed to add more bait and neither would open with the key. I had to force both of them open by hand. A simple latch on the side would be much better. I would not purchase this product again.

Look better in the yard than the standard square bait boxes and do blend in to the landscape. The hinges and boxes are a little flimsy though. The hinges are weekend sections of plastic that flex when opened, one was broke from shipping. Do my own pest control very quickly replaced the damaged one but can see a possible weakness in the design. The lock and key seems to work fine, easy to open and lock closed. Seems a little expensive also considering the simple thin plastic mold construction.

I was trying to get rid of a sudden infestation of pack rats. So I tried the stuff recommended by the guys at the big box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot. The bait would disappear so I figured the problem was solved or would soon be. Wrong. I pulled one of the nests apart and found all the bait, some chewed and partially eaten. The recommended bait had absolutely no effect on the little varmints'. So I placed an order with DoMyOwnPestControl.com., problem solved. This is not the first time I have used DoMyOwnPestControl.com, and truthfully, after it was all over and done, I felt silly that I didn't go to them first. I let some guy at the hardware store sell me on a product that didn't work, shame on me. Don't let it happen to you. Go to the professionals at DoMyOwnPestControl.com for the right advice on what products to use and how to use them. I won't make that mistake again. And no, I don't work for them.

Work great - really heavy-duty plastic that should stand up for years and years. Locking latch works well, and hinge is strong and does not seem not prone to any kind of long-term use failure. Really blend in well with landscape - they really do look like landscape rocks even from a few feet away. Highly recommend.

Noticeable changes in design are vastly improved over the previous.

I saved for a while to purchase four of these for a roof rat problem. These are good quality and I like the fact that when the entry holes are placed against the wall you can open the station without having to move it away from the wall. It came with plastic inserts to catch poison and I had to punch little holes in the plastic inserts for the securing rods that hold the poison. It also came with service record cards to keep track of the baiting. I choose to get the sandstone color because I can always darken them with paint and dirt. At the time of writing I have not had any activity on the poison....I don't believe this has anything to do with the stations.

The lock was a little fussy a first but smoothed out quickly. Large t-rex trap fits & works perfectly. Shipped fairly quickly.

Delivery was incredibly fast. I set up the baits and saw mice entering them the next day.

I found one of these in my yard one day and had no idea what it was or where it came from. I opened it and looked it up on line and found out it was for rodents. Good idea, I thought, and ordered another so at least I would have a key for it. Baited them both up and set them out. A few days later I found the one near my garden area upside down and 3 feet away from where I placed it. Also all my vole traps that were baited with the same cubes were upset and robbed. Now I know who dragged the first one into my yard. Raccoons. They can get their paws inside and scrape out the bait cubes. They love the stuff. Hard to tell whether its working on mice because they are supposed to eat it and wander off somewhere and die. But I'll keep trying.

The station is great but I bought 4 stations and you give me one key and want me to buy additional keys to open the stations . That is a really bad idea and really one key like you could send an additional one in case I lost the only one you gave me. Come get with the program seriously

I have tried and still have the Protecta Landscape, Sidekick, and Rat bait stations, and the Landscape is my choice. The Rat bait is OK, but must be Zip-tied to lock it and the Sidekick and the key design it uses is a pain to open.

This design with rodent entry from the bottom has eliminated the problem that I had with previous designs that were open to birds entering and eating the bate. This rat bait station holds more bate, which is another improvement.
