Wilco 100046603 Ground Squirrel Bait Station,Green

We have a huge ground squirrel population here at our home in the country. A friend recommended this and I bought 5 to cover our two homes. They were destroying everything and seemed uncontrollable. Tried the metal wire traps and got 1 squirrel in 4 months. Obviously those didn't work. But this does with the bait! Hardly see those pests anymore. Highly recommend! Super easy to use and well priced too. Check them once a week and add bait as necessary. I started with 3 cups. No more dozens of them running around tearing up things now.

Works great!

I was a little unsure about this as a means to eliminate Ground Squirrels. But I can say after a month of placing this bait station & bait close to a hole they've been hiding out in, there's no more activity. In fact the bait seems to be staying at a specific level now - another sign of no more squirrels. This came as a recommendation of a rodent removal service. The BAIT is call KAPUT and available online in our state (Ca.)

I was not expecting much from this bait station. I had tried many things to get rid of an infestation of chipmunks on my property. They dug holes and tunnels everywhere, they were killing my grass, destroying ornamental plant around the house, and compromising my home's foundation. I was about to give up when I found this bait station. Paired with the correct bait and a whole lot of hope, I set this bait station out - first near a particularly upsetting hole where I had been watching helplessly as chipmunks entered and exited without any concern that I could stop them. But after a week or so, their movements became less and less, and eventually they were gone! So with great expectations, I moved the bait station to the middle of the worst area of my yard where chipmunk activity was at its greatest. It has now been a few more weeks, and I can with gladness state that I have noted a tremendous decrease in the number of chipmunks that I have seen. This thing is working! I plan on purchasing a couple more of these bait stations and move them around my entire yard. There is finally light at the end of my journey toward having a chipmunk-free yard!

Sturdy, easy to open, I have removed safety tab, I do not have kids to worry about and I am the only one handling bait boxes.I use Ramik 40 lb, as it is most cost effective. I could see the difference. They take bait to the nest, young ones.Squirrels had been chewing on tractors and cars and trailers wiring creating additional costs.I fill the bait boxes fully with loose Ramik pellets and leave them in the area of activity. Check on them every 4- 6 weeks. Removing the safety tab allows for easy refills. I use gloves handling poison and bait stations, needles to say goat leather gloves are part of my daily attire.An update:7/4/2023:3 years later; sturdy, does it job, love top loading feature. Ground squirrels - not an issue anymore.

Item was purchased to hold bait for ridding my yard of ground squirrels. No squirrels have used it, so it will go back & I will now employ a .22. Other than that it's a sturdy item, but they could redesign the opening. A fair amount of bait fell on the ground & well, it's poison pellets. Try picking that out of your flower beds.

I like that it keeps the bait away from pets. The fill cap can be difficult to get off.

We have a huge ground squirrel population because of our next door neighbor who does nothing to keep the ground squirrels down on his side. Keeps other animals from getting the food. We use a brand that allows the ground squirrel to die in their hole, so no other animals are affected.
