Bait stations

Bait stations are essentially enclosed spaces where pest baits, a kind of poison designed to attract and kill pests, are placed. This term refers to small containers or stations, often plastic, that have been designed with safety and efficacy in mind. In the field of pest control, experts apply bait inside these stations to allure pests into the trap where the creatures ingest the tempting, but lethal substance. Therefore, these stations serve as a secure and targeted way to deal with bothersome pests like rats, mice, or certain insects. They're favored because they protect baits from weather, minimizes risk of accidental poisoning to wildlife or pets, and allow the bait to be inspected and replaced on a routine basis. Inside these, Popular brands like Bell Laboratories and BASF often manufacture products used by professionals.
