I have the Protecta Bait stations with Contrac Blox bait. The
stations keep the bait away from kids and pets. The bait kills 'em deader
than a doornail. One feeding does it, turns my property into a dead zone -
rats show up, never to come back. And I don't have to deal with seeing
dead rats or disposing of them - they die out of my sight.
Contrac Blox is only available on the site in 18lb
buckets. Federal law restricts sale of the 4lb pails, but there are
sellers on eBay that'll sell them anyway. 4lbs lasts me for more than a
year, with 6 stations around my house. There are other baits available
that can be sold in 4lb pails.
If you don't like poisoning the bastards, the stations will take a
certain brand of reusable snap traps. I like the bait because a trap only
gets one rat, the bait keeps working 24/7 killing everyone that shows up.
