New Bar Code Labels Now Standard on Bell Labs’ Rat-Sized Bait Stations

A sequentially numbered bar code will appear on the inside lid of the Protecta LP, Sidekick, Sidewinder, Landscape, and Protecta Bait Stations, and inside the Trapper 24/7.

MADISON, WIS – Keeping track of bait placements just got easier for technicians with new bar code labels applied to Bell Laboratories’ rat-sized tamper-resistant bait stations and the Trapper 24/7 Multiple Catch Mouse Trap

The sequentially numbered bar codes will appear on the inside lid of the Protecta LP, Sidekick, Sidewinder, Landscape, and Protecta Bait Stations, and inside the Trapper 24/7. Applied with an all-weather permanent adhesive, the bar code label will be positioned in a standard location on each station shipped from Bell’s manufacturing facility starting in October, 2008.

Reflecting a new trend in the industry, the bar code is compatible with handheld scanners that a growing number of technicians use to input service information for each bait station. Bell’s bar code labels employ a standardized industry format and are compatible with multiple software platforms.

Bell introduced its bar code labels at PestWorld 2008 in Washington, D.C. in late October.
