Collection: Rodent Baits and Attractants

A rodent attractant is a specially formulated substance designed to lure rats and mice into traps. It enhances the effectiveness of traps by using scents or ingredients that are highly appealing to rodents, increasing the chances of a successful capture.

Toxic baits are designed to kill rodents, typically containing rodenticides that are lethal when ingested. These are best used in tamper-resistant bait stations to ensure safety and control.

Non-toxic attractants, on the other hand, simply lure rodents into traps or bait stations but do not harm them. They're ideal for monitoring rodent activity or when you want a poison-free solution, such as in homes with pets or in food-sensitive environments.

Rodent attractants typically come in easy-to-apply formats like syringes or tubes. Simply apply a small amount of the attractant to the bait area of your trap. The powerful scent will lure rodents into the trap, helping to increase capture rates.

Yes, most rodent attractants are made from non-toxic, chemical-free ingredients, making them safe to use in homes, businesses, and outdoor areas. Always check the product label for specific safety instructions, but in general, these attractants do not pose a risk to pets or children.

Yes, rodent attractants are versatile and can be used with a wide range of traps, including snap traps, live capture traps, and electronic traps. Their flexible application ensures that they can complement many rodent control strategies.

Most rodent attractants are made without harmful chemicals, relying on natural scents and ingredients that appeal to rodents. This makes them a safe and eco-friendly option for those seeking to avoid toxic substances in their pest control efforts.

To use rodent bait safely and effectively:

1. Place the bait inside a secure bait station — this protects the bait and ensures only rodents can access it. Depending on the type of bait you may wish to use bait station accessories such as bait rods and bait trays.
   
2. Position bait stations along walls, in corners, or near signs of rodent activity such as droppings, chew marks, or nesting materials.
   
3. Avoid handling bait with bare hands — the scent may deter rodents. Use gloves or utensils.
   
4. Check and refill stations regularly — every few days at first, then weekly once uptake is confirmed.
   
5. Dispose of uneaten or spoiled bait safely — follow local waste guidelines.
   

Always read the label and follow safety instructions for each product. For outdoor use, make sure your bait station is weather-resistant and placed out of reach of pets or wildlife.

Choosing the right bait depends on:

The type of rodent:

• Use smaller blocks or sachets for mice.
• Use larger, high-strength blocks or pasta baits for rats.

Where you're placing it:

• For indoor use, opt for low-odour, low-spill baits.
• For outdoor use, choose moisture-resistant baits and pair with a robust station.

Level of infestation:

• For light activity, a non-toxic attractant + trap may be enough.
• For established infestations, a toxic bait in multiple stations is more effective.

Safety requirements:

• If children or pets are present, always use a tamper-resistant bait station and consider alternative control options like traps.
