Our bait stations will help you to deal them a poison over several days that will ultimately lead to their death. Always secure poison in bait stations so that it is not available to children, pets or wild animals. When placing bait stations outside, consider all areas where bait should be placed such as wood piles, storage sheds and fence rows. They should be placed about 50 feet apart around buildings or along landscaped areas surrounding buildings. Grain baits can no longer be broadcast on fields, they must be used in bait stations.
