Keith's Pro Tips | "For a few days place empty bait stations in targeted areas. Mice and rats will be attracted to the enclosed dark space. As they investigate the bait station they will begin to smell their own scent. This will make rats and mice feel more comfortable entering the stations when it's filled with rodenticide bait." |
