They increase the effectiveness of any bait by protecting it from the elements and providing a sheltered area where rodents feel comfortable feeding. The Tomcat rodent station is an excellent value for customers looking to upgrade to the security of a tamper-resistant bait station. It locks when closed and is unlocked with a special two-pronged key. It's small footprint can be used in many different areas, but is large enough to hold up to eight 1 oz bait chunx or a Tomcat rat trap.
