Good trap bad design

This station comes with its own key that you must use to open up the bait station. 1 key for a case of stations. I lost the key so now i cant open them up anymore. Not sure if i can just purchase a key only. I shake the bait into the bait compartment.

We are sorry to hear you are having troubles with opening your station. We do however carry the keys by themselves http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/key-for-protecta-rat-and-mouse-bait-station-p-253.html.

Too difficult to open with the key

Too difficult to open with key provided

Too difficult to open with key provided I have to use a screwdriver to open the bait stations also the rods that hold the bait blocks always get loose and come in done I have been in the pest control industry for 34 years and have to say these stations need improvement. I will not purchase any more of these stations until they are improved

What crap! It's a major problem to open it with the key that they give you. BIG mistake ordering it!

Impossible to open with useless key
By Craig on 04/14/2024
Unbelievably poor key-lock mechanism. It's hard to believe professional engineers could have come up with this design. The rest of the design is ok but it's easier to open by dumping the key and using chisel to pry it open. TERRIBLE DESIGN FOR KEY-LOCK MECHANISM
