| How do I know where to place rodent bait, a bait station or a trap? |
| Look for signs of rodent activity - droppings, gnaw marks and hair - or listen for scratching or high squeaking sounds, particularly at night. Place rodent control products (as is appropriate) in those locations of highest activity. These locations include behind stoves or refrigerators and inside cabinets. |

| How long does it take for rodent baits to work? |
| RAMPAGE is our fastest-acting bait with rodents dying sometimes within hours but usually in 1 to 2 days after eating a lethal dose. With Motomco's single-feeding baits (HAWK and JAGUAR), once a rodent has consumed a lethal dose, it will die in 4 or 5 days. TOMCAT is a multiple-feed bait that kills rats and mice in 4 to 6 days. |

| How much rodent bait do I need? |
| Each package is carefully labeled in accordance with strict guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Consult the package for specific usage information. |

| Can I touch the bait? |
| Yes. Motomco bait can be safely handled. Just be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. |

| What's the best way to bait? |
| You should begin baiting as soon as you detect a problem. Put bait in areas where you notice or suspect rodent activity, that is, where rodents will find it. Mice tend to travel only 10 to 30 feet from their nest, while a rat's home range is 25 to 150 feet. Be sure to keep bait fresh and dry, and get rid of any old or contaminated bait. |

| How can I keep rodent baits away from my pets? |
| Motomco Bait Stations are the ideal device to add safety to home rodent control. They are generally extremely durable, tamper-resistant and can even be anchored to ensure they cannot be picked up or moved. However, baits can be safely used on their own by placing them in areas that are not accessible to your pet. These areas include behind stoves, refrigerators or even inside a cabinet. |

| If my pet eats the rodent bait, could it die? |
| The risk to your pet depends on what type of pet it is, how big it is, what type of bait it has consumed, as well as how much bait was consumed. If a situation occurs, immediately call the poison control number located on the package and a specially trained individual will assist in your next steps. |

| If my pet eats a dead rodent, will it die? |
| The potential of any secondary poisoning depends on most of the same factors indicated above. Call the poison control number on your product package if you are concerned about a possible exposure. Occurrences of this type of poisoning are extremely rare. |

| Should I bait a TOMCAT reusable mouse or rat trap? |
| Motomco Mouse Snap Traps are designed to be set and placed perpendicular to walls or other objects WITHOUT being baited. As mice travel between their food source and nesting areas they will run through the trap and be captured. Baiting the trap can reduce its overall effectiveness for capturing mice.
Motomco Reusable Rat Traps, on the other hand, feature a removable bait cup that lets you bait the trap with peanut butter, for example. Because rats are neophobic (afraid of "new"things) they may initially be reluctant to run through the trap. Baiting the trap may help entice them into the trap. |

| Do I need to put bait on my adhesive trap to improve capture rates? |
| No. Motomco adhesive traps are ready to use. Adding other products may actually inhibit a trap's effectiveness. Simply place against walls or other areas where rats and mice travel. |
