JT Eaton 902 Top Loader Rodent Bait Station, Black, Weather-Resistant, Dual Entrances, Compatible with Bait Blocks, Liquid, or Granular Bait

I gave 4 stars for value as they seem to fluctuate in price. I had seen this system on YouTube where they made them out of PVC. Well , again depending on current price, by the time you buy the materials , cut and assemble, these are cheaper and offer more options. These do not require a stand though if you want to, they have screw tabs to allow for mounting, and mounting in various positions as well. The top is tamper proof for nosy people and critters , but easy to open. I also like the fact that they hold 4 average chunk baits. My only gripe again was the fact the price went up after I first ordered. one case never arrived, no problem Amazon credited me on the spot, asked if I wanted someone to call to replace the order. I declined figured they had enough to do and I was hard to reach bye phone anyway. When I went to reorder the price jumped about $5 apiece! Chit! Should have had them replace my order, lol. Anyway, yes I recommend them wholeheartedly.

BEWARE, This online vendor is notorious for sending only 1ea. of the 6per case, 902 top loaders as advertised. NOT a fault of the manufacturer.I am responsible for the Food Safety Program which includes an audited, results based, Pest Control Program in a food Mfg. facility. Food Safety requires bait station placement every o/a 15' regardless of other considerations. Vertical orientation reduces footprint in pedestrian/fork lift lanes which safeguards against destruction of bait stations. Great for block & soft baits but more importantly it allows for water based rodenticide deployment via J.T. Eaton 902WB liquid feeder. It fulfills "tamper/child proof" legal requirements and prevents dust from contaminating water based rodenticide. Food based rodenticides (block and soft bait) compete with all other available foods. Water based rodenticides are a game changer if you can control availability and convenience of other water resources. Eaton is a good company with well made products for commercial application.

Definitely works. Bought another set

Trying to eliminate mice who love to move into my attic and cabinets during cold weather. I like that these are easy to load and hold a good amount of bait and when I use them my mouse hotel closes.But this season I have found that not only the raccoons but now squirrels have figured out how to open them. I have 3 now with no locking tops, I have retrieved another 2 tops from my far backyard and one they were able to remove the actual bait rod itself, leaving the cover on the ground beside it unit itself. Not sure why suddenly this year but most of the units were new this year.

I was very impressed with these rodent traps. They are well designed and good quality. Don’t bother trying to build these traps yourself, as I did initially. These are actually cheaper than the cost of making them yourself, and are way better designed and much less hassle. I bought these for a vole problem I have, and I found that I had much more luck with them by removing the little removable partition at the entrances, thereby making a wider access for the little critters to enter. Once I removed that little barrier I got a lot more action on the bait blocks.

These JT Eaton 902's are the best bait station out there - particularly if the vertical profile isn't an issue.The tube is a clear through hole (the bait is elevated) so the animals see an unobstructed tube and won't avoid entry due to any perceived obstruction. Direct access. No corners. Key.The elevated bait lets rain and irrigation flow through and keeps bait dryIncluded and installed baffles keep racoons, possums, squirrels and birds out. Kids arms too. These are easily removed (push tab below and pull) if you don't want or need the baffles.Tube ends long enough to keep cats and particularly dogs from accessing bait.At 6 for $60 they cost less to buy than to build (there are common plans on the internet of this design).Extremely durable. Very thick ABS plastic.Narrow profile - goes right up against a walk or walk way.Holds 4-6 of the bait chunks and keeps it dryKey is hex wrench. Comes with them (one each in the 6 pack - no stingy single key seller!). I put a paracord loop on several of the keys and hang a key off each pail of bait so it's always handy.Hex wrench key is also not some funky weird lever key. Just unscrew the screw. So tamper resistent but no multi finger unlock.I'm on my second box of 6. And you want lots. One for each run/stretch of wall inside or out. So attic, crawl space, outside. I need another box of 6.I have great luck with the Farnham's One Bite and I'm adding in the JT Eaton Apple and Peanut so there is variety in each station. This particularly for outside where I want voles and mice and chipmunks. I have near zero luck with Tomcat baits myself.See the pictures.4 Tomcat "year old failures" (4 small traps and one can)One of my 12 JT Eaton 902s, ready for it's 3rd fill!Repeater trap - they work for no poison - but you must tend them (or else this mess).Do your self a favor - buy a case at a time.

No mouse bait/poison inside. You must purchase that elsewhere. The price is high enough to justify at least a starter bait kit to fill these with.

Low maintenance & very versatile.I’ve been waiting for this type ofa bait station for over a decade.Make sure to buy block bait thatfits on hangars. My only requestwould be a smaller key that doesn’tdominate my key chain.
