Rodent Bait for Effective Rat & Mouse Control

Manage rats and mice around stables, feed rooms, yards, barns, farms and other buildings with our range of rodent bait. Designed for targeted pest control, rodent bait can help tackle established rat and mouse activity when used correctly as part of a wider rodent management programme. Choose a suitable bait for the target species and always place it securely inside a compatible bait station, following the product label and instructions carefully.

Choosing the Right Rodent Bait

The right bait will depend on the rodent species you are targeting, the location of the infestation and the individual product's approved conditions of use. Rats and mice have different feeding behaviours, so always check that the bait you choose is suitable for the target species.

• Choose bait specifically approved for the rodent species you need to control, whether rats, mice or both.
• Place rodent bait inside a suitable bait station rather than leaving it loose or exposed.
• Position bait stations close to areas showing signs of rodent activity, such as runs, droppings, gnawing, burrows or feeding areas.
• Always follow the bait manufacturer's instructions regarding placement, quantity, inspection and replacement.
• Keep rodent bait inaccessible to horses, pets, children, wildlife and other non-target animals.

Using Rodent Bait Safely

Rodent bait should always be used responsibly and strictly in accordance with the product label. Place bait securely inside an appropriate bait station and position it where rodents are active while minimising the risk of access by non-target animals.

Inspect bait points regularly to monitor activity and check whether bait has been taken, damaged or contaminated. Replace or replenish bait only as directed by the product instructions, and remove bait when it is no longer required or when instructed by the label.

Pro tip: Number your bait stations and keep a simple record of their locations, inspection dates and bait take. This can be particularly useful on larger equestrian yards and farms, helping you identify areas of persistent rodent activity and ensure every bait point is checked.

For effective long-term control, combine baiting with good rodent prevention. Store horse feed and bedding appropriately, clean up spilled feed promptly, remove accessible food and water sources, reduce potential harbourage and identify entry points that rats and mice may be using to access buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I put rodent bait?

Rodent bait should be placed securely inside a suitable bait station in locations where there is evidence of rat or mouse activity. Always follow the instructions on the bait label when deciding where and how it can be used.

Can I use rodent bait around stables?

Rodent bait may be suitable for use in some stable, yard and agricultural environments where permitted by the individual product label. It must be positioned so that horses, pets, children, wildlife and other non-target animals cannot access it. Always follow the product's directions and restrictions.

How often should I check rodent bait?

Follow the inspection intervals stated on the individual bait product. Regular monitoring allows you to check for bait take, contamination and signs of continued rodent activity while ensuring bait points remain secure.

Should rodent bait be put in a bait station?

Rodenticide bait should be used exactly as directed on its label and, where required, secured within a suitable bait station. A bait station helps protect the bait and restrict access by children and non-target animals, but it does not replace the need to follow all instructions and safety precautions supplied with the rodenticide.
