Philproof Bait Station

Philproof’s large bait station holds 1,800g of bait, mini holds 800g. They are designed for more accessible locations. This is crucial in remote areas where refilling the bait station is challenging. Moreover, 1,800g of Pestoff can kill 23 large possums, costing about $1.20 per possum.

When medium to large possum numbers (12+ per hectare) are present, baiting is the most economical and responsible method for control. Consequently, the bait station can be mounted on any tree or post for convenient possum feeding. Instruction guidelines offer advice on optimal placement and considerations. To be effective, you need at least two bait stations per hectare.

These bait stations also control rodents and can be easily modified with Philproof baffles to prevent birds and possums from feeding during rodent control operations. You can fit spikes through the bait station’s floor to keep blocked bait in place and stop rodents from removing it.

The bait station ensures your bait remains dry and active, delivering a lethal dose. Hand broadcasting bait is illegal and can waste money, as the bait becomes unpalatable and may be consumed by non-target animals.
