there were no directions on the bucket or inside - how do you dispense for rats?

I tore the packet open and put the whole packet in a safe place that dogs and cats could not get into. I found that if left unopened they would not eat it.

Use gloves that you can through away. My husband takes the bags out of the bucket and put them in places and the rats eat through the plastic covering. Make sure you put them where children, pets or anyone can get to them, even other animals. If you think you need to, call the company for their directions. I believe that is the best thing for you to do and anyone else that wants to use this products.

Keep the materials in the little bag, as the rodents will chew through it. We lifted our garbage can "shed" up and threw a few underneath, as we knew that dogs/pets would be unable to get to the bags. A Week later the bags were all torn with the pellets mostly gone..

using gloves, cut off the top and just throw the entire container into the crawlspace under the house or attic....believe me, they will find it.

I had rats in the attic. I just threw some around where I saw the hole under the eves of the roof. I wore disposable gloves. Good luck!

You Sprinkle The Granules Into The Soil. I Used A Tablespoon. Depending On The Pot Size And InfestAtion Determine The Amount I Used. I Believ You Can Peel The Back label For Directions. It Works!

You could either squirt it into a crack where no birds/mammals can get at it, or you can make your own bait station by cutting a narrow slot in some PVC tubing, and putting a brick on top of it so birds/mammals can't get at it (use two pieces of PVC for stability). Don't forget to label your bait station so anyone who comes across it knows exactly what's inside (for safety's sake).

I can't say if pack rats will go for it but I wouldn't be surprised. I left the bucket in an accessible shed and rats almost chewed the lid off trying to get to the bait blocks! No, rain and water don't seem to have a negative effect on the bait blocks.

Put on a pair of gloves. Grab the box firmly from the side and with your other hand compress the spring and shake the dead gopher into a bag and put it in your trash can. Your hands will never touch the rodent but you can wash your hands after if you are really freaked out. Good luck! Doug

Just push downwards to dispense. It may take a few pumps for the first time.

I don't have rats but I used to manage a pet store. I wouldn't use this for rats. They are so smart and I think they would use there little noses to go underneath. One of my Hedgehogs did that.

I recommend hosing it down. That's the easiest way I have found to clean this habitat. If you don't have a hose, then placing it into a bath tub works too. But then you have to clean up the tub afterwards.... The bottom gets rusty after about a year. I have 2 boy rats. They're medium rats and I think the cage is just about the right size.

I just put it in bucket a NS squeezed red portion and pumped it out. It can siphon if there is a difference in levels.

Use peanut butter. Works like a charm. Make sure you hunting a rat and not a mouse. A mouse will not trigger the trap. Use peanut butter

Hi... there are a couple of answers to your question. First, this model needs a pretty good sized rat to trip the mechanism. I had better luck with : Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel - 0745... I caught several of varying sizes with this one. I also accidentily captured one of my favorite squirrels..he wasn't happy. I would keep the rat traps where the squirrels don't go if possible...AND make sure the squirrels have their own feeders so they are not tempted to go where the trap is. Interestingly, now that I've relocated around 9 rats, we haven't seen or heard them in close to a month...and there is never rat poop in the squirrel feeder anymore... it used to be there everyday. Hope that helps.

Put the whole trap in a bucket of water, it only takes a very short while until the little buggers have drowned. Then simply open the lid and dump them in the trash, they'll be right at home.

I take the top off first, loosen a few sheets on the roll, then feed it through the dispenser. I'm on my third container! I hope this works for you.

There are directions on the box, but I just sprinkle some on the top of the dirt and then work it in a bit...and then water. Be warned...it quite literally smells like "poo" :( Only drawback, but it's temporary.

I used peanut butter and I think I coated some nuts with it. If you have rats they will come.

I just work with it in the sink. Run water thru the narrow slots, fill a little water in it and shake it, turn it, what ever it takes. It's just not real convenient. I have used a wire hanger to get my sidekicks hair out. (long haired Corgi).

I totally agree with the other answers. I have used glass mason jars and a cooler filled with hot water wrapped in a big towel and it worked but like jMack that bucket fits snug in there and I also think that is the key.
