Philproof ® Rabbit Bait Station
Proven, purpose-built station for safe and effective rabbit baiting
The Philproof® Rabbit Bait Station is designed specifically for delivering bait such as Pindone safely and effectively to wild rabbits while reducing risks to non-target species. Each station holds up to 1.8 kg of bait, making it ideal for remote sites where refilling is difficult.
Unlike open trays or improvised setups, the Philproof® station keeps bait dry and palatable in all weather — even during heavy dew, fog, or rain — ensuring maximum bait take. This makes it the preferred choice for long-term rabbit control by agencies, councils, and conservation groups.
Customers including the Department of Conservation (DOC), regional councils, and community groups trust Philproof® stations as the industry standard: simple, proven, reliable, and cost-effective. They have been widely used across New Zealand and are increasingly adopted in Australia to support integrated rabbit control programs.
