Rodenticide baits should be placed in which type of box?

• A. Open trays
• B. Plain boxes
• C. Tamper-resistant boxes
• D. Transparent boxes

Answer: (C)

Safety and proper containment of rodenticide bait are the focus here. Tamper-resistant boxes are designed to restrict access to the bait, reducing the risk of poisoning for children, pets, and non-target wildlife while keeping bait available to rodents. They typically have a secure lid or locking mechanism and openings sized for rodents, so larger animals or curious children can’t easily reach the poison. Open trays offer no real protection and can be accessed or spilled by pets or kids, while plain boxes may be easier to tamper with or ignore safety features. Transparent boxes don’t inherently provide tamper resistance. So, tamper-resistant boxes are the best choice because they balance safety with effective pest control.
