BaitSafe – the best kept secret in pest control BaitSafe has recently been installed in a prominent five star London hotel, targeting severe rodent issues in the walls and ceilings of the kitchens and reception areas. It has also been specified for use in the kitchens of a high profile entertainment facility, targeting pest issues safely and securely out of the reach of employees. These all feature an ultra discreet solution, protecting customers and staff from the negative attention that pests can create. BaitSafe can be installed at build stage or retro-fitted and can’t be moved, emptied or accessed by anyone but your pest controller, ensuring that access to bait is controlled and protected. *
