Use only registered products as per their label. [Download the bait station log (CSV, opens in Excel) CSV, opens in Excel or Google Sheets · 1 KB · free to edit Download](https://servicepilot.in/downloads/rodent-bait-station-log.csv) Offices, restaurants, food units and warehouses buy rodent control services because one sighting can cost them a client or an audit. What they pay for is a programme they can show: a map, a log and a report. Here is how to run it. Download the bait station log below. ## Site survey - Walk the site with the client: entry points, drains, garbage area, stores, kitchen, false ceilings - Note signs of activity (droppings, gnaw marks, runways) and proofing gaps - Agree the area in scope and the visit frequency ## Station map - Number every station and mark it on a simple site plan - Outer ring: boundary and building walls; inner ring: stores and kitchens (traps or glue boards where baits are not suitable) - Use tamper-resistant stations wherever people, children or pets could reach them ## Rodent control services: each visit - Check every station: bait taken, trap catch, damage, missing - Refill or replace, and remove carcasses - Record each station in the log - Note new activity and proofing work the client should do - Get the site's signature ## Report to the client Each month, send a short summary: stations with activity, trend against last month, and open proofing points. Use the [pest control service report format](https://servicepilot.in/blog/pest-control/pest-control-service-report-format/) for the visit report and the [pest control agreement format](https://servicepilot.in/blog/pest-control/pest-control-agreement-format/) for the contract. ## Running it in software In ServicePilot a commercial client's site holds the AMC, and the [AMC](https://servicepilot.in/features/amc-contracts/) creates the visits; the [pest control template](https://servicepilot.in/industries/pest-control/) records treatments on each visit. Station-wise logging can be kept in the attached log until a station checklist is added to your template.
