Rodent Control
Motomco's line of rodent control products includes the Tomcat mouse bait station, the Tomcat LP bait station and the Tomcat multiple catch mouse trap.

The LP bait station (pictured) is tamper-resistant and low profile, measuring 3⅜-in. tall by 9-in. deep. Winding the handle of the multiple catch mouse trap sets the rotating mechanism ready for capture. It can catch up to 10 mice with a single setting. Call (800) 418-9242.

Direct Injector
The Expandable Spring Shank Direct Injector from Balzer Inc. features low-profile, toggle-trip reset mechanisms so pressure is applied to the toggle, not to the springs. The low profile of the reset springs keeps the swing arm lower to the ground for more stability and durability and less wear on the hose. The box-out design allows for adjustable row spacing and moves the weight closer to the rear of the tractor by narrowing the width. A folding mechanism also is built on each 5- or 7-drop base unit so a wing kit can be added to expand up to 13 drops. Call (800) 795-8551.
