  • Protecta Mouse Bait Stations Keep Trapped Rodents Out of Sight

    Updated: 2012-12-20 22:35:27
    Baiting and trapping are the two most effective means of rodent control. With baiting, you put out poisonous bait that the rodents will eat and then die. With trapping, you set a trap (there are a range of different kinds) with bait in it; when the rodent enters the trap to get the bait, it’s either killed immediately (snap traps) or trapped there (glue traps and other live traps). There are also mouse bait stations, including Protecta SideWinder and Protecta SideKick, that will securely hold both the bait and the trap.

  • For Safe Rodent Control, Kaput Bait Is the Answer

    Updated: 2012-12-18 23:35:51
    Baiting and trapping are two of the most effective means of rodent control. With bait, the rodents eat the poison bait and then day sometime later (it might be a couple of days).
