Tomcat Mouse Killer Refillable Bait Station 16 x 28 g

Details

Sixteen refills is a program rather than a one-off. This is the pack for someone running bait in several buildings — house, garage, shop, granary, barn — through a whole fall and winter, and topping stations up as they get emptied. Bought this way the cost per placement drops considerably against buying disposables one at a time. The refillable station is a durable housing you keep, lock and anchor, and reposition as activity moves. Being lockable is the substantive part: it keeps bait away from dogs, cats, children and poultry, and it satisfies the direction regulations have taken toward requiring tamper-resistant stations instead of loose bait. Anchoring it also stops a station from being dragged into the yard. Run several stations, not one busy one. Mice work small territories, so coverage is what ends an infestation — stations flush against walls in each building, in corners, behind equipment, along sills, wherever you find droppings and gnawing. With a supply this size, put stations everywhere you have evidence rather than rationing. Handle the volume with some care. Wear gloves when refilling, do it away from feed and water, keep the pail closed, and do not decant bait into unmarked containers. Keep the original label with the supply. Know your active ingredient. Anticoagulant rodenticides are treated with vitamin K1 by a veterinarian; some other chemistries have no simple antidote at all. If a dog, cat, child or livestock animal gets into bait, phone a veterinarian or poison centre immediately with the label in hand rather than waiting for signs. Walk your placements and pick up carcasses daily — secondary poisoning of barn cats, dogs, owls and hawks is a real cost of a bait program, and it is largely avoidable with a pail and a shovel.
