Do bait boxes work for rats?

Unlike mouse traps that only catch one rodent at a time, bait stations work as long as there is enough poison for the rodents. A single ounce of bait kills around twelve mice while four ounces is enough to eliminate ten rats.

Do rat bait boxes attract more rats?

Rats will even build nests inside of a bait station. Putting a bait station close to a house encourages rats to spend more time in that area.
