Wearing gloves and a dust mask during handling of the rodent detection stations is recommended. However, the powder used in the stations is environmentally-friendly, completely non-toxic and rated by the FDA as safe for use in food handling areas and as an indirect food additive.

Placement Spacing

In all interior applications the, rodent detection stations should be placed 15' to 25' apart. For exterior applications, placement should be no more than 15' apart.

Interior Use

The use of this rodent detection and tracking system is intended to monitor rodent activity anywhere this activity is suspected: in basements, crawl spaces, attics, garages, out buildings, warehouses, food processing plants, storage facilities, restaurants and offices. Each station has an access point at each end, which have been sealed for transport. These must be opened at time of installation.

Exterior Use

Walk along the exterior of the structure you are inspecting, placing the stations along the perimeter wall approximately every 15’ apart where rodent ativity is suspected. Placing on clean solid ground will produce better results than an area littered with leaves and or thick foliage. Some landscape pruning may be needed to set the rodent detection system stations down properly and to follow the rodent’s activity during inspections. Each station has an access point at each end, which have been sealed for transport. These must be opened at time of installation.

Inspect preferably after dusk or pre-dawn approximately 3 to 7 days after installation. In outdoor applications, inspect during dry weather. If heavy rain is in the same day forecast, it is best to delay initial setting.

Each rodent detection system area should be checked thoroughly. In addition to checking the stations on the perimeter for activity with the UV flashlight, special attention should be paid to the underside of shingles, missing foundation masonry, door bottoms, etc. A second and third inspection is recommended at 7 to 10 day intervals until all locations are found. Life expectancy of the bait is approximately 4 to 8 weeks. This will vary depending on the amount of rodents in the area and moisture. Discard after use in a safe manor subject to state or local ordinances.   

Prior to or during the sealing of all holes found it may be necessary to set rodent traps in the structure being inspected to remove the rodent population. Traps should be set in active areas inside the structure adjacent to exterior access points found and all traps should be set per trap label, also safe and out of the way of children and pests. Humane mouse traps can also be set in the same fashion. Check all traps daily.

Permanent sealing products will need to be procured depending on where and how big these access points are. Some recommended products are Hydrolic Cement, and ¼” galvanized hardware cloth or copper mesh for interior use (only). Soft materials like expanding foam are not a solution for hole filling.
