Ramik Multiplex Bait Station

Details

A tamper-resistant bait station is the piece of equipment that makes rodent baiting legal and defensible on a working yard. It locks, so a child or a dog cannot get into it. It anchors down, so nothing carries it off. It keeps rain, snow and manure off the bait, which means the bait stays palatable for weeks instead of days. And it has an internal rod so blocks stay put rather than being dragged into the open. Most rodenticide labels in Canada require bait to be placed in a station like this for the use patterns a farm cares about. Buying bait without stations is a false economy and, depending on the product, not a lawful way to use it. Sized for rats, which also means it handles mice without difficulty. Set it along a wall, at a building corner, or on a fence line where rodents travel — never out in the open, because rats will not use it there. Anchor it, note where you put it, and service it on a schedule. The practical advice for anyone starting a program: buy more stations than you think you need and less bait. Stations last for years. Bait is a consumable. A well-placed line of stations checked every two weeks does more than twice the bait scattered badly. Wear gloves when you service it, keep the key somewhere you will find it again, and clean out old, mouldy or soiled bait rather than topping up on top of it — rodents will not touch bait that has gone off, and an untouched station looks like the product is not working.
