Poison Baits - Traps are effective usually when dealing with
small numbers of rats or mice. When rats are plentiful or
where unsanitary conditions exist with harborage, poisoned
baits are an effective tool to use with trapping.
Poison baits are avilable as ready to use, premixed baits.
They come in many forms; parafinized blocks for outdoor
use and high humidity areas, treated meal, seeds, or
parafinized pellets in bulk or in “place packs” for indoor
use. Water baits are sold as packets of concentrate that are
mixed with water. They are administered with a chick fount,
available at most feed stores, and are useful in areas where
rodent food is abundant but water is in short supply.
