"Rodent bait" refers to a substance or food that is used to attract and trap rodents, such as mice or rats. It is designed to entice them to consume it, which may contain a poison or other means of killing or controlling the rodents.
The restored funding will primarily go towards the costs of personnel to perform rodent baiting and proactive neighborhood blitzes, a clerk to handle complaints, service requests and documentation management, and supply / material costs for bait and related equipment. (www2.erie.gov)
Funding for the Vector and Pest Control Program, which included rodent baiting and trapping on private property, was eliminated by former - County Executive Chris Collins in the 2011 Budget. (www2.erie.gov)
