Rats On The Rise
🐀 Rats on the Rise: Don’t Let Them Take Over 🐀
Rodent sightings are becoming more common — and retail chains have noticed, now stocking shelves with high numbers of bait stations. But buying bait isn’t enough. Proper placement and monitoring are key to stopping a rat infestation before it takes hold is important. Rats can be very intelligent and we need to work with that.
✅ The Right Way to Use Bait Stations:
For most residential properties, four bait stations is generally sufficient when placed correctly.
DO:
✅ Place stations in secluded, low-traffic areas — along walls, behind sheds, near fence lines, or in overgrown corners.
✅ If possible, cover or conceal stations to protect from weather and discourage tampering.
✅ Check bait stations weekly to ensure bait is being consumed and replaced as needed.
✅ Wear gloves when handling bait or stations.
DON’T:
❌ Don’t place stations in open areas accessible to pets or children.
❌ Don’t move the stations frequently — rodents are creatures of habit it can take a week for them to feel comfortable to enter a bait station and start consuming.
❌ Don’t forget: bait is only one part of a successful rodent control plan. Sanitation and exclusion matter too.
