Protecta EVO Express Bait Stations (when purchased individually or by the case) does not come with bait. The bait you use in the stations will be determined by your needs for bait quantity, safety, and kill speed. You can see all of our Rodent Baits Here.
You would add bait to the Protecta EVO Express Bait Station, the rodents enter and consume the bait, but they are not trapped. They typically go back to their nest or another area before succumbing to the bait.
The Protecta EVO Express Bait Station works primarily as a bait station to secure the rodent bait allowing rodents to enter the station, feed on the bait and then leave the station. Tamper resistant bait stations protect the rodent bait from outdoor weather elements and also keeps non target animals and kids from accessing the bait. This bait station does allow the use of two Trapper T-Rex Rat Traps or two Mini T-Rex Mouse Traps to be used inside and up to 8 bait blox.
It is possible that the rats are not attracted to the bait you are using because there is another food source available to them. We would recommend removing any type of food items (pet food possibly) and/or moving trash to another area. If there are other food sources around, they will continue to go to those sources and avoid the rodenticide. Be sure you’re not handling the blocks or the Protecta EVO Express Bait Station with your bare hands, leaving behind your scent on these items will deter rodents from entering the stations and feeding on the bait. Ensure you have fresh bait readily available for the rodents. If baits become stale, moldy, wet, etc, it will no longer be attractive to the rodents. Lastly, rodents, rats especially, are very hesitant to check out new objects in their areas. You should bait the stations and leave them alone for a couple of weeks to allow the rodents to become used to it being there, and eventually they will become curious enough to begin to check it out.
We would recommend using the Farnam Just One Bite II Bars in a rat-sized station such as this Protect EVO Express or our Protecta Rat Bait Stations. This will work for the size of the bait as well as offering a trap large enough to fit rats and mice.
