DIY Rat bait staion around house perimeter.

| I used a clear plastic water bottle about 1 quart size.
Cut off the bottom.
Wired a Bell Labs Ditrac bait and pulled the wire through a hole in the
screw on cap.
Is there a better design for a homemade bait station that would look
better than a bottle up against the side of my house?

I'd be afraid dogs-possums-raccons could get into it...maybe stack some
bricks/logs around it.

The powder is Restricted Use only. Nothing against you personally but
I'd rather you not have the powder. The PVC is a common usage. As lar
wrote, the plastic bottle seems awfully easy for dogs to get through.

Yow! I hope the dogs don't get to that either!

| Craig, long time no post. Good to see you back posting again. You must have
been very busy. If you get a chance stop by and say hello at my message
board, whenever you get a chance that is. It is great to see you back
posting again.
