Squit: The Eco-Friendly, Practical, and Sturdy Bait Station Rodents Love

In modern integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, bait stations are one of the most crucial tools for monitoring and managing rodent infestations as part of prevention and control plans.

Designed by Colkim, Squit is an ecological, practical, and sturdy bait station crafted entirely from recycled plastic. It is engineered to reduce rodent neophobia, featuring a rough internal base that provides tactile security for rodents, encouraging their interaction with the station.

Proven Durability and Resistance
Three resistance tests were conducted on Squit, using five test samples. The results demonstrated excellent performance, both in compression tests and in exposure to sunlight, confirming the product’s robustness and long-term reliability.

Key Features of Squit:

  • Secure Locking System: Equipped with a key-lock mechanism to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Reinforced Fixing Holes: Simplifies secure attachment to various surfaces.
  • Anti-Wear Nautical Hinges: Ensures durability and long-lasting performance.
  • Water Drainage Holes: Designed to prevent water accumulation, keeping the interior dry and functional.

Squit combines sustainability with high performance, making it an essential tool for rodent control in modern integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

Resistance Tests for Squit: Breakage and Sunlight Exposure

Breakage Resistance

A compression test was conducted following a method similar to the UNI EN ISO 604 standard. The results demonstrated that a force exceeding 400 kg is required to achieve 50mm of compression, highlighting Squit’s exceptional structural strength and resistance to breakage.

Carbon Black Content Determination

A test on the molded sample was carried out in accordance with ISO 6964. The sample was exposed to 600°C for 5 minutes in a nitrogen environment. The carbon black content was determined to be approximately 1%, enhancing the material’s resistance to UV radiation and improving its durability under sunlight.

Sunlight Resistance

A Xenon Test, conducted in alignment with the ASTM G155 standard, evaluated the product’s resistance to sunlight exposure. After 500 hours of laboratory exposure—equivalent to several months of outdoor sunlight—the sample retained its mechanical properties and showed no significant degradation.

The Squit bait station is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including compression and prolonged UV exposure.
