It is important to be patient when controlling rats. Rats are often suspicious of new or unfamiliar objects. Do not be surprised if it takes up to two weeks for rats to enter and feed in recently placed bait stations.
As with mice bait placement techniques use closer spacing of bait placements in a heavy infestation, placing bait between their harboraging areas and food sources.
Always try to place baits between there harboraging areas and all food sources.
Maintain the bait stations regularly with fresh anticoagulant bait to keep rodent numbers at a low level, as rodents will move in from other areas. When using baits, monitor their freshness and quality, as rats and mice will often reject spoiled or stale foods. Provide enough fresh bait for rodents to eat sufficiently, but don't overfill bait stations. When initially positioning bait stations, check them daily and add fresh bait as needed. After a short time, rodent numbers and feeding will decline, and surveillance of stations will only be necessary every two weeks or so. If the bait becomes moldy, musty, soiled, or insect-infested, empty the bait station, clean it, and refill it with fresh bait.
Dispose of spoiled or uneaten bait in accordance with the label. If possible, dispose of the spoiled toxicant at a qualified toxic-waste facility. If ants are a problem, treat the station interior (especially the bait tray) with a low-odor, liquid pyrethroid insecticide. Let the insecticide dry before filling the station with toxicant. Insecticides will not likely deter rodents, provided that the insecticide is applied at labeled rates.
