Required
Pre-baiting is a federal requirement before deploying Avitrol Baits. This critical step maximizes bait acceptance and treatment effectiveness while ensuring compliance with EPA label requirements.
Application
Use our scale scoop to portion prebait directly into your baiting tray, ensures consistent application and reduces waste on every fill.
Frequency
Add prebait to one of our baiting trays weekly until the birds start consistently feeding, then mix the active bait at a 1:40 ratio. Prebaiting typically takes 1–4 weeks or until 50%-60% of prebait is consumed.

What is Untreated Mixed Grains used for?
Untreated Mixed Grains are used as a prebait to establish feeding patterns before implementing Avitrol-treated bait. Prebaiting helps birds become comfortable feeding at the treatment site, increasing bait acceptance and overall program effectiveness.
Is prebaiting required before using Avitrol-treated bait?
Yes. Federal law requires prebaiting before implementing Avitrol-treated bait. Untreated Mixed Grains help prepare birds for treatment by encouraging consistent feeding behavior at the baiting location.
Where should Untreated Mixed Grains be placed?
Place prebait in areas where birds are already feeding, loafing, or congregating. Common locations include rooftops, I beams, ledges, and other areas with regular bird activity. For best results, use baiting trays to keep bait contained and easily monitored.
What do I do if the birds aren't feeding?
Check that the bait is placed where birds are actively feeding and that alternative food sources are limited. Birds may need several days to become comfortable with a new feeding location. If feeding activity remains low, contact our team for personalized guidance and baiting recommendations.
