Q:What if an owl or a hawk eats bait?7/16/21A:There is another trap that does not let the animals out when they go in to eat, but then you are stuck with having to get rid of them yourself, such as drowning etc.

Q:Is there a chance for bait to be brought out by squirrels, hence putting pets at risk?1/19/21A:I live in a rural part of Idaho and have used this bait station and Wilco bait for 6 years. I tried many other options but this works! We have lots of squirrels and never has any bait been moved out of station to the ground. A little small for squirrels to go all the way inside. I don't think squirrels would go into a confined space.

Q:Can this product be placed on the surface of the ground?7/26/20A:No, it should be put in a Wilco bait station green box. If you put it on the ground all other animals and birds can get it and die. Even your pets and kids. It n Ed’s to be used responsibly. You can buy Wilco bait stations at Walmart. I think they have the best price.

Q:how are pellets dispensed ?6/7/20A:Pellets are put into green trap via a screw top closure. Ground squirrels enter through the 2 side holes to eat. This bait trap and pellets are totally effective and I tried many ways when my property was overrun. After 3 teas of baiting in spring they no longer are on my property
