Protecta Landscape - "Sandstone-Style" Bait Box

The Protecta Landscape bait box is a rugged tamper resistant bait box made from heavy duty injection moulded plastic, which is textured to look like a piece of rock (sandstone) that will easily blend in with outdoor landscapes.

The Protecta Landscape bait box is self locking and can be reopened with the bait box key supplied

Please note this product is not supplied with rodenticide. That should be purchased separately (see ‘Related Products’)

Use the Protecta Landscape bait box in conjunction with one of our rodent baits where a regular rodent bait box would be unsightly or out of place. Because the Bait box looks like a garden ornament do not lose sight of the fact that its purpose is to control rats. It should still be sited with that purpose, rather than aesthetics, in mind.

Place the baited stations along rat runs, adjacent to walls. The bait station will offer protection to the bait from children, pets and non target animals but be sure either to anchor the bait station down (see Bait Station Ground Anchor), or place where the box is inaccessible and cannot be knocked over or removed. Rats are cautious animals and will avoid new objects in their environment so do not be discouraged if they do not take the bait straight away. If you are confident that the bait is placed where rats are running, avoid the temptation to move it for at least two weeks to allow the animals to get used to it. Once the rats have started to eat the bait inspect the bait stations every few days and replenish the baits until no more baits are taken. At this point remove the bait boxes from site.

Dead rats may still contain small quantities of undigested rodenticide which may harm non-target animals. Search the site for rodent bodies and dispose of them by double bagging them and placing in the refuse. Rats can carry diseases so ensure that you are wearing impervious gloves when checking the baits, places where rats have been and when handling carcasses.
