Bait stations

Bait stations can be an effective option, especially during the initial ‘knockdown’ (high density) stage to remove high numbers of rodents or mustelids. Compared with trapping, the use of bait stations can save time, money and resources. However, if baits are misused there is a risk of poisoning non-target species including wildlife, livestock and pets. Please read this section carefully.
