PT-404PV is a heavy-duty, lockable rat bait station platform with a removable lower tray designed to accept added weight and selected monitoring components. It is intended for professional distributors and IPM programs that need better station stability and more configuration flexibility than a basic enclosure.
Reviewed and substantially updated: August 2026.
What the PV Configuration Adds
PT-404PV is based on the PT-404 station platform. The removable tray allows the service program to add a suitable paver or use a compatible monitoring insert where permitted. The paver is not merely cosmetic: added mass can help reduce unintended movement in exposed service positions.
| Component | Operational role | Service check |
|---|---|---|
| Lockable housing | Controls access to internal components | Key operation and lid closure |
| Removable lower tray | Supports weighted or monitoring configurations | Correct fit and cleaning access |
| Internal rods/holders | Organizes approved bait or monitoring setup | Compatibility with local program |
| Heavy-duty molded body | Supports commercial and perimeter servicing | Hinges, entry points and anchoring plan |
Use in an IPM Program
A bait station is one component of integrated pest management. Site inspection, sanitation, exclusion, population monitoring and documentation remain necessary. Any rodenticide or other control material must be used only according to its label and local law. Station placement, anchoring and service interval should be defined in the site plan.
PT-404PV may be considered for warehouses, commercial buildings, farms, food-related facilities and perimeter service routes where the station format suits the risk assessment. It should not be described as universally suitable without considering non-target access and site conditions.
Why Distributors Can Position It Above a Basic Station
The removable tray creates a clear functional difference that sales teams can demonstrate. It also supports a more complete professional story around station stability, inspection and configurable monitoring. This is more defensible than competing only on a generic black-box appearance.
Model-Specific OEM Options
PT-404PV can support selected resin color, upper-lid silk-screen printing, injection-molded logo feasibility, labels, manuals and export cartons. These options are not interchangeable: molded branding may require tooling work, while direct printing depends on artwork and surface approval. The exact OEM plan should be confirmed on a physical sample.
Procurement and Sample Checklist
- Confirm lock and key operation across multiple samples.
- Verify tray fit and the dimensions of any locally sourced paver.
- Check entry openings and internal configuration against the intended program.
- Approve logo method, color and location on the physical lid.
- Confirm master-carton protection and stacking.
- Record the supplied accessories and document version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a paver included with PT-404PV?
Supply configuration should be confirmed in the quotation. Heavy pavers are often sourced locally to avoid unnecessary freight.
Can the tray hold a glue board?
Selected compatible monitoring boards may be used depending on the configuration and local program. Confirm dimensions and permitted use.
Does the station make rodenticide safe in every location?
No. Product-label directions, anchoring, placement, inspection and non-target risk assessment still apply.
Can our logo be molded into the lid?
Feasibility depends on the logo, position and tooling. Silk-screen and label options may be more flexible.
