  • Asked by James from Plantation
    04/03/2017
    Q
    Is it legal in Florida to place bait stations around the perimeter of a pond or lake?
    A

    Protecta Rat Bait Station should be used around your home and in areas where you have seen rodent activity. They should be used in spaces where rodents will travel. If they seen are by a lake or pond, they can be placed near there, however, they would likely just be drinking from this lake or pond. It is best to place the bait stations where you have seen droppings around your home. Legally, most bait in bait stations must be used within 50 feet of a structure.

    Q
    Bait Station Labeling: inside the box or outside surface? Any legal reference if not visible but yet label is inside? Label does fade away due to the sun's ULV rays or do you sell labels with personalized company name?
    A

    Protecta Rat Bait Station service labels can be placed right inside the station on the cover as they have an adhesive backing.  You would need to check with local regulations regarding what is required legally.  We apologize, but we do not sell personalized labels.

  • Asked by Leroy from Salt Lake City, Ut
    10/05/2014
    Q
    Where can I buy an extra key for the Protecta Rat Bait Station? I can't locate mine.
    A
    The Protecta Rat Bait Station does not actually come with a key. It comes with a screw that can be undone by an allen wrench which would have come with the station. This is the same type of allen wrench you can get at any hardware store or that you may have in a tool box. If you do not have the Protecta Rat Bait Station and you have one of the other styles of the Protecta line that does require a key, you can purchase one on our website here: Protecta Key For Bait Stations.

  • Asked by Judy from La Center, Wa
    04/26/2017
    Q
    Is there a specific brand of bait required to use with the Protecta Rat Bait Station?
    I have a large box of Just One Bite.
    A

    It does not matter what type of bait you use, such as the Just One Bite, Contrac Blox, Final, nuts, dog kibble, canned tuna or peanut butter if you are using snap traps in the stations. Be patient, it could take several days or even a couple of weeks before the rats are comfortable enough with the traps to approach them. After you have eliminated your current infestation you must take the time to exclude rodents from entering your home in the future.

  • Asked by Graham from Upland, Ca
    08/01/2018
    Q
    Will the Protecta Rat Bait Station work as a rat trap that I can use anywhere?
    I need to place traps in areas where the dogs cannot get to.
    A

    The Protecta Rat Bait Station will hold bait or rat traps and they will be inaccessible to the dogs inside of these stations. Keep in mind that snap traps and bait are sold separately: the Protecta Rat Bait Station on its own does not contain any kind of trap. Another option is the EZ Snap Rat Station, which has a reusable snap trap already included in each station.

    Q
    Rat under my bird feeder. Squirrels too. Will the squirrel go into the trap for the bait?
    Think the rat is in the crawl space under my kitchen. When he dies, will the smell drive us out of the house? (Protecta trap)
    A
    Squirrels are known to feed on baits used in Protecta Bait Stations along with rats. If a rat or squirrel eats rodenticide baits and then dies under your home it can indeed cause a strong odor.

  • Asked by Dana from Olympia, Wa
    02/13/2021
    Q
    Do you recommend baiting the trap inside Protecta Rat Bait Station before setting the trap?
    I turned the un-set trap around in the station and baited it, planning to do this a few times before actually setting the trap. Do you recommend this?
    A

    If you're using a snap trap inside the Protecta Rat Bait Station, it is a great idea to bait the trap before setting them to have better and possibly faster results because rats can be pretty smart.  Always remember to wear gloves when handling so there is no human scent on the stations that could discourage rodents from entering.
