Rat Feeder Stations and Bait Boxes

Rat feeder stations are lockable bait boxes designed for the secure deployment of rodenticide. Bait — grain, block or paste — is positioned inside the station on a fixed rod or in a tray, keeping it dry, correctly placed on a known rat route and inaccessible to children, pets and non-target animals. The responsible method for any situation where poison needs to be used around people or other animals.

Choosing the Right Feeder Station

Standard bait boxes — a lockable enclosure with internal bait rod or tray. Suitable for domestic and professional use, weatherproof and tamper-resistant. Available in single-entry and dual-entry configurations depending on the run layout.

Bait stations with snap traps included — a combined station that holds both rodenticide and a snap trap simultaneously. Useful where multiple control methods are being applied at the same location, reducing the number of separate units needed on a run.

Nestable and stackable formats — compact designs that can be stored flat when not in use. Practical for professional operators managing multiple sites or rotating seasonal deployments.

Placement and Use

Place feeder stations along active rat runs — close to harbourage, along wall lines, near entry points and around known feeding areas. Bait take is highest when the station is positioned where rats are already moving. Check at least every 72 hours during active infestations and replenish bait before it runs out completely — a depleted station loses its effectiveness as a feeding point. Always follow the product label instructions for the rodenticide in use. For trapping without poison, see rat trap stations or the full rat traps range.
