A rat/mouse bait station is a secure, tamper-resistant container designed to control rodents safely while protecting people, pets, and non-target animals.

The purpose of a bait station:

Attract and control rodents
Bait stations contain rodent bait that attracts rats and mice, helping reduce rodent populations in a controlled, targeted way.

Improve safety
Bait is locked inside the station, preventing accidental access by children, pets, wildlife, or livestock.

Protect the bait
Stations shield bait from rain, heat, and moisture—helping it remain effective longer despite North Texas weather changes.

Strategic placement & monitoring
Stations are installed along common rodent travel routes such as foundations, fence lines, garages, sheds, and utility areas. This allows professionals to monitor activity and adjust treatment as needed.

Effective year-round in McKinney
Rodent bait stations work year-round—not just in winter. In McKinney, rodents stay active due to mild winters, established neighborhoods, nearby greenbelts, creeks, parks, and ongoing development. Cooler months drive rodents indoors for warmth, while warmer months increase outdoor feeding and breeding—making consistent monitoring essential.

Support long-term prevention
When paired with exclusion and sanitation, bait stations help manage ongoing rodent pressure and reduce the risk of reinfestation.

Important note:
Rodent bait stations should always be professionally installed and maintained to ensure proper placement, safety, and effectiveness.
