3. Close and Secure: Close the lid firmly until it clicks into place. Turn the key to lock the station. Remove the key and store it in a safe place, out of reach of children and pets.
4. Position the Station: Place the bait station in areas where rodent activity has been observed, such as along walls, in corners, or near entry points. Ensure the entry holes are accessible to rodents. For outdoor use, consider securing the station to prevent displacement (e.g., using a plastic cord through the lid holes).

6. Operating Instructions

Once set up, the bait station operates passively. Regular monitoring is essential for effective rodent control.

• Monitor Regularly: Check the bait stations periodically (e.g., every few days) to observe bait consumption and rodent activity.
• Replenish Bait: If bait has been consumed, replenish it as needed, following the safety precautions outlined in Section 2.
• Maintain Security: Always ensure the bait station remains securely closed and locked, especially in areas accessible to children or pets.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your bait station.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the bait station, especially when replacing old bait or after rodent activity ceases. Use warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the station is completely dry before adding new bait.
• Disposal: Dispose of dead rodents and any remaining bait according to local waste disposal regulations. Do not dispose of rodenticide in household trash or down drains.
• Storage: When not in use, store the bait station in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bait station, consider the following:

• Rodents not entering the station:
  • Reposition: Try moving the station to a different location, closer to known rodent pathways or entry points.
  • Bait Type: Experiment with different types of rodenticide bait (e.g., different flavors or textures) as rodents can be selective.
  • Obstructions: Ensure the entry holes are clear and not blocked by debris or the bait itself.
• Bait consumed, but no dead rodents found:
  • Rodents may be consuming the bait and dying in hidden locations. Continue monitoring and replenishing bait.
  • Ensure the bait used is effective and fresh.
• Lid difficult to open or close:
  • Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. Do not force the lock.
  • Check for any debris or dirt in the locking mechanism and clean if necessary.
