No dead rats visible just alot of empty white wrappers. Bait stations were sometimes flipped over even with a log on top. Am I waisting my money? That seems like alot of bait to be consumed and nothing seems to be happening? Is it normal for the bait stations to be flipped over and empty (always locked)
If rodent populations are high (there are always a lot more than you may expect to be around) then consuming that much bait in a week is absolutely realistic, and some customers have to bait like that weekly for a few months to get the overall populations around the home/area under control. The stations being flipped however isn't something typically seen with rodent use; Do you live in an area with wild animals such as raccoons, bear, etc? You may want to use some quick adhesive and a brick paver from a hardware store to attach to the bottom of the station to help weigh it down and reduce the chances of it getting flipped as well. Was the soft bait pushed down over the bait rods in the station to secure them? Or was it placed loose in the station? Are there signs of rodent droppings or urine in or around the stations?
