I have several large black plastic outdoor bait stations (5-sided, with the side against the wall being 12"). I opened it with a Proteca key & found the interior is divided into sections, with a thin aluminum rod laying across a couple of the dividers. What is the purposes of that small rod? In which sections of the base of the bait station do I place the bait? Thanks for your help.
The rod is for you to thread through the bait so that the bait is held in place so rodents cannot relocate it. We reocmmend you start off putting 3-4 baits per station (on the rod) and then checking the stations after 1 week. If all of the bait is gone you need to use more bait. If there is still a lot of bait left you should use less bait. The amount of bait you need to use will always be based on the rodent population in your area at any given time.
