Pest control professionals are always on the lookout for the perfect bait station—one that is effective, secure, and affordable. In today’s market, you can find multifunction stations that allow you to switch control strategies without replacing the unit, as well as traditional bait stations for a more classic approach to rodent management. One common request is for a compact station that fits easily under shelving, pallets, or in a basement of a condominium. These stations must be extremely secure, with a reliable key lock and bait compartments that are inaccessible from the outside.
The OSD bait station lineup is broad and well-assorted, but there was one missing piece: KOMPACT is the latest addition to our range. Designed to meet the demand for a small station with big features, Kompact is our answer to a compact, economical bait station that doesn’t compromise on quality. Here’s why it stands out:
Key Features of the Kompact Bait Station
Weatherproof and Durable Construction
Kompact is built from robust, high-density polypropylene in an anthracite color. It is impervious to weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether placed in a damp basement or a rainy exterior corner, this station holds up without cracking or warping.
Versatile for Rats and Mice
The station features large entry holes with a diameter of 50 mm, allowing easy access for both rats and mice. This versatility means you can use the same station for different rodent species without modification.
Secure and Tamper-Resistant
Safety is paramount. Kompact comes with a key lock (one key per station) that keeps bait secure and prevents unauthorized access. The internal design ensures bait blocks are not reachable from outside, reducing the risk to children, pets, and non-target wildlife.
Two Separate Bait Compartments
The station has two independent compartments that can hold up to two 20-gram bait blocks each. The blocks are secured with included retaining rods, preventing rodents from dragging bait away. This design also allows you to use different bait types in each compartment if needed.
Compact Size
Measuring just 17.5 x 16 x 8.5 cm (length x width x height), Kompact is one of the smallest professional bait stations on the market. Its low profile makes it ideal for tight spaces like under shelves, behind appliances, or in crawl spaces.
Why Choose Kompact for Your Pest Control Needs?
Rodent control requires a combination of effective bait and strategic placement. The Kompact station excels in both areas. Its small size allows you to place it in locations where larger stations simply won’t fit, increasing your coverage and effectiveness. The durable construction means it will last through multiple service cycles, making it a cost-effective choice for professionals.
For those looking for the best poison for raccoons, Kompact can also be used with appropriate bait formulations, though always follow label instructions for target species.

- Warehouses and storage areas: Fit between pallets or along walls.
- Residential basements and garages: Discreet control in tight corners.
