The Roshield Bait Monitoring Trays are a professional-grade solution designed to hold loose rodent...The Roshield Bait Monitoring Trays are a professional-grade solution designed to hold loose rodenticide bait when treating mice and rats in enclosed areas. Each pack contains 10 medium-sized trays, allowing for strategic placement in multiple locations such as attics, wall cavities, under flooring, or within drain inspection chambers. These trays are specifically designed to minimize bait shyness by allowing rodents to access the contents without having to enter a restrictive bait station. Measuring 85mm in length, 65mm in width, and 21mm in height, these trays provide an efficient way to monitor bait consumption levels and track pest activity throughout the treatment process. Please note that these trays are not tamper-resistant and should only be used in accordance with current regulations, making them ideal for monitoring non-toxic baits or for use by professionals. The red trays are durable and easy to place in confined spaces to ensure effective rodent control.
The Roshield Bait Monitoring Trays are an essential tool for professional pest controllers and homeowners looking to manage rodent activity in enclosed, non-public spaces. These trays simplify the tracking of rodenticide consumption by providing a low-profile platform that encourages natural feeding behavior without the restrictive feel of traditional tunnel stations. While they offer superior monitoring capabilities, users should be aware that these trays are not tamper-resistant and must be placed in inaccessible areas to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

FAQs
Are these trays chew-proof?
No, they are made of a durable plastic intended for holding bait, but they are not reinforced against rodent gnawing.
Can I use these in my kitchen cupboards?
These trays should only be used in areas where food and pets are strictly excluded, such as sub-floor voids or wall cavities.
How often should I check the trays?
During the initial phase of an infestation, check daily. Once activity is established, you can move to checking every 2-3 days.
Are these trays reusable?
Yes, they are durable enough to be cleaned and reused for multiple monitoring sessions.
Can I use these outdoors?
They are not designed for outdoor use as they offer no protection against weather or access by non-target animals.
Are they compatible with all types of bait?
They are best suited for solid, paste, or loose grain baits. Do not use with liquid formulations.
Troubleshooting
Bait is being scattered outside the tray
Consider using a lower volume of bait or switching to a wax block formulation that is harder for rodents to drag.
Tray is sliding out of place
Use a small amount of non-toxic adhesive or double-sided tape on the underside of the tray to secure it to smooth surfaces.
Difficulty locating trays in dark areas
The bright red color is designed to be visible under a flashlight, but you can also use small pieces of reflective tape near the tray's position for easier identification.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Easy to position in confined and hard-to-reach spaces
Open design promotes natural feeding and reduces trap shyness
Bright red color aids in tracking and retrieval during inspections
Durable construction ensures they hold their shape under bait loads
Cons
Not tamper-resistant, posing risks to pets and children if left in exposed areas
Requires careful placement in non-accessible zones to meet safety regulations
Not suitable for outdoor areas exposed to weather or non-target animals
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Ensure the trays are placed in areas completely inaccessible to pets, children, and non-target wildlife. Use them in loft spaces, wall cavities, or secure internal drain chambers.
Monitoring: Regularly inspect the trays to check for consumption levels. If bait is untouched for several days, consider moving the tray to a different location along a suspected travel route.
Compatibility: These trays are designed to hold loose grain, wax block fragments, or non-toxic monitoring pastes. They are not intended for use with liquid baits that may seep through the edges.
Maintenance: Because the trays are reusable, simply clean them with a soft brush between treatments. If they become heavily soiled or damaged, dispose of them safely according to local waste regulations.
