“Increase catch rate with fewer visits to the target area”
The EnviroMate is an all-in-one non-toxic/ toxic bait dispensing pest control tool. This automated and programmable tool can be used alone or in conjunction with traps.
EnviroMate 100TM is strong and durable and fitted with 7 internally rotating compartments to be filled with baits. These baits are revealed to pests based on the programmed settings (eg. A new compartment is revealed every two days). This technique keeps pests from overeating, thus avoiding wastage and also protects it from various weather conditions.
Trials show possums have a 225% increased catch rate when using toxins (Feratox) in conjunction with the EnviroMate on a permanent trap site and a 30% increase in trap capture per site visit when non toxic lures are used.
For more options, see our range of pest control products.
Targeting rats only
Using traps only in conjunction with enviroMate 100TM
Place a heaped pile of lure, such as Ferafeed 213 or Smooth Cinnamon Lure, in each chamber of the enviroMate100TM (about 75g). Program to cycle every day, opening a new chamber sometime after 5pm or so.
After a few days of pre-feeding set one or several traps (depending on density of rodents) nearby with the same lure on their feeding plate.
Check and reset traps daily.
You will need to refill the enviroMate 100TM after 7 days.
Using poison only in conjunction with enviroMate 100TM
Press a golf ball sized piece of Ratabate into each chamber of the enviroMate100TM (being a paste, rats cannot take the bait away. This is enough Ratabate to kill one rat.
Program to cycle every three days, although you may initially wish to cycle every day if pest numbers are high, opening a new chamber sometime after 5pm or so.
On a three day cycle the enviroMate 100TM will need to be refilled after 21 days, on a two-day cycle, every 14 days and a one-day cycle, every 7 days.
When there is bait remaining in the chambers then there are probably no rats left so fill the chambers with Ferafeed 213 and continue the three-day cycling as a monitor.
When this lure starts to disappear, it is time to add toxin again.
Targeting possums only
Using traps only in conjunction with enviroMate100TM
Place a heaped pile of lure – Ferafeed 213 or Smooth – in each chamber of the EnviroMate100TM.
Place a trap in a suitable place nearby but leave it closed (unset). In high possum densities you could place 3 or 4 more traps nearby.
Program the EnviroMate 100TM to cycle every day, opening early evening.
After 3 or 4 days of pre-feeding with this lure, splash the same lure inside the trap and open it (set it)
Check and reset traps daily until no more possums are caught and you can leave the traps closed.
You will need to refill the enviroMate 100TM after 7 days.
Periodically use lure to check if any new possums have arrived, and if lure is eaten prefeed again for a few days then reopen the traps. Note: if the chambers are totally cleaned out you have rats
visiting.
Using poison only in conjunction with EnviroMate 100TM
Place a heaped pile of lure about 75g – Ferafeed 213, Smooth Cinnamon Lure, Smooth Aniseed Lure or Treacle Gold – in each chamber of the enviroMate100TM.
If you have a Controlled Substance Licence, add several pea sized baits of Cyanide paste or several Feratox pellets to chambers 6 and 7.
Double Tap pellet bait can be used if you do not have a CSL, but does not kill instantly like
Feratox, so you may not physically see bodies.
Program to cycle every day, opening early evening.
Refill the chambers after 7 days adding lure and bait to all chambers.
Continue until no more bait and lure is taken. Dispose of unused bait.
Periodically use lure to monitor for reinvasion – and when this occurs start the process again.
The EnviroMate 100™ is an automated, self‑feeding bait station designed to deliver controlled amounts of bait over extended periods. It reduces labour, improves bait protection, and ensures consistent bait availability for targeted rodent control programmes.
The station uses an internal mechanism that dispenses bait gradually, ensuring rodents always have access to fresh bait while preventing over‑consumption, spoilage, or wastage.
The EnviroMate 100™ is compatible with various baits, including paste and pellet baits. Always follow label instructions for the bait you choose.
Automation provides several advantages:
Yes. The station is lockable and tamper‑resistant, helping prevent accidental access by children, pets, and non‑target wildlife.
Servicing frequency depends on rodent pressure, but automated dispensing typically extends service intervals, making it ideal for remote or labour‑intensive sites.
Yes. The station is designed for outdoor durability, protecting bait from rain, UV exposure, and environmental contamination.
Yes. The automated system allows you to easily check bait levels and track consumption trends to assess rodent activity over time.
