The RodoTrak rodent detection and tracking product uses a set of baited rodent detection stations to attract rodents, such as mice, rats, flying squirrels, chipmunks and almost any small rodent. These stations are loaded with non-toxic fluorescent powder that will coat their bodies for tracking using an ultraviolet (UV) flashlight.
The station can be set up indoors or out. They contain a fibrous material that is permeated with a powder that completely coats the rodent’s fur when it enters. The material contains enough powder to cover about 15 linear feet outside and farther inside. Once rodents leave the RodoTrak station, they create a trail of powder left as footprints where they walk or “body” prints where they rub against an entry or exit point, the company said.
