How to Mix Pork Police Bait Without Clumping

Pork Police Bait is designed to turn water into a thick, syrup-like wildlife attractant that coats corn and remains concentrated around the bait site.

That thickening ability is what makes the product different, but it also means the mixing process matters.

The formula begins bonding as soon as the powder touches water. Adding the ingredients in the wrong order, waiting too long to shake, or using a container without enough empty space can cause clumps to form.

The good news is that clumping is easy to prevent when the product is mixed correctly.

The Correct Way to Mix Pork Police Bait

Each 3-ounce pack of Pork Police Bait should be mixed with one gallon of water.

Follow these steps for the smoothest consistency:

1. Start with a container that holds more than one gallon.

2. Pour one gallon of water into the container.

3. Leave enough empty space for the liquid to move while shaking.

4. Add one full pack of Pork Police Bait to the water.

5. Close the container immediately.

6. Shake continuously and aggressively for approximately 60 seconds.

7. Pour the finished mixture over up to 200 pounds of corn.

The two most important rules are simple:

Add the water first.

Start shaking immediately after adding the powder.

Why Does Pork Police Bait Clump?

Pork Police Bait uses Poly-Bond Technology to thicken the water and help the finished mixture bind to corn.

The formula is supposed to begin forming a thicker consistency when it comes in contact with water. If the powder is allowed to sit before being thoroughly mixed, the outside of the powder can begin thickening before the water reaches the inside.

This can create small gel-like pieces or larger clumps.

Clumping does not mean the product is spoiled or defective. It usually means the bonding process started before the powder had enough movement to disperse evenly throughout the water.

Always Add the Water First

Do not pour the dry powder into an empty jug and then add the water.

When water is poured directly onto a pile of powder, the outside of the powder begins thickening immediately. The water may not be able to reach and separate all of the dry material before a bond forms around it.

Instead, fill the container with water first. Then add the powder on top of the water and begin shaking immediately.

Adding the powder to moving water gives it a better chance to spread throughout the container before the formula thickens.

Use a Container With Extra Space

A completely full gallon jug may not provide enough room for the mixture to move.

When the container is packed to the top, shaking may only move the liquid slightly. The powder needs enough movement to travel throughout the water instead of remaining near the opening or floating in one area.

For best results, use a container larger than one gallon while still measuring only one gallon of water.

The empty space inside the container allows the mixture to move back and forth more aggressively while shaking.

A clean 1.25-gallon or larger jug generally gives the mixture more room than a completely full one-gallon container.

Shake Immediately

Do not add the powder and then wait before shaking.

The Poly-Bond formula starts reacting as soon as it touches the water. Even a short delay gives the powder time to begin thickening in one area.

Have the lid ready before opening the pack.

Add the powder, close the container, and begin shaking immediately. Do not stop to move equipment, open another package, or prepare the corn before shaking.

The corn and bait site should already be ready before the powder is added to the water.

Shake for the Full 60 Seconds

A few quick shakes may not be enough.

The mixture needs time and movement to fully distribute the powder throughout the gallon of water. Shake the jug continuously for approximately 60 seconds.

Turn the container in different directions while shaking. Move it from side to side, up and down, and end to end.

Changing the direction helps move powder away from the corners, bottom, and neck of the container.

The finished mixture should be thick, but it should still be pourable.

Does Water Temperature Matter?

Normal tap water works well for mixing Pork Police Bait.

Extremely cold water may make powders harder to distribute, while very hot water is unnecessary. Room-temperature or mildly warm water is generally the easiest to work with.

Do not use boiling water.

The most important factors are still the order of mixing, the amount of open space in the container, and how quickly the mixture is shaken.

What Should the Finished Mixture Look Like?

Pork Police Bait is not supposed to have the consistency of plain flavored water.

When properly mixed, it should become a thicker, syrup-like liquid that can coat corn instead of immediately draining through the pile.

The exact appearance depends on the flavor:

• Cherry Dynamite creates a red mixture.

• Green Apple Grenade creates a green mixture.

• Molasses Madness creates a brown mixture.

Some settling may occur if the mixture sits for an extended period. Shake the container again before pouring if necessary.

What Should You Do if Clumps Form?

If small clumps form, continue shaking aggressively.

Turning the jug upside down and changing the direction of the movement may help break up material caught near the top, bottom, or corners of the container.

For stubborn clumps, allow the mixture to sit briefly and then shake it again. The product can still be poured over corn even if the texture is not completely smooth.

The scent, sweetness, yeast, and other ingredients are still present throughout the mixture.

However, preventing the clumps from forming is much easier than trying to break them apart afterward.

For the next pack, use a larger container, add the water first, and begin shaking immediately.

Can You Mix More Than One Pack at a Time?

You can prepare multiple gallons, but each pack should still be mixed using the correct ratio of one pack per gallon of water.

The container must also have enough extra space for the full mixture to move.

For example, mixing two packs requires two gallons of water. A two-gallon container filled completely to the top would not provide enough mixing space. A larger container would be needed.

For most customers, mixing one pack at a time is the easiest way to maintain the correct ratio and achieve an even consistency.

How Much Corn Does One Mixed Pack Treat?

One pack mixed with one gallon of water can treat up to 200 pounds of corn.

You can pour the mixture over:

• Whole kernel corn

• Cracked corn

• Grain mixtures

• Corn placed in a bait hole

• Corn spread around a stump

• Corn poured directly onto the ground

Apply the mixture gradually and move around the pile to coat multiple areas.

You can also turn or stir the corn after pouring to spread the mixture deeper into the pile.

Do Not Pour Pork Police Bait Into a Feeder

Pork Police Bait should be poured directly over corn after it has been released from the feeder.

Do not pour the mixture into the hopper or internal components of an automatic feeder.

The formula is designed to thicken and bind. This may cause corn to stick together or interfere with the feeder’s moving parts.

Place the corn on the ground first, then apply the mixed attractant.

Prepare Everything Before Mixing

The simplest way to avoid problems is to prepare the entire bait site before opening the pack.

Before mixing:

• Place the corn where you want it.

• Measure one gallon of water.

• Choose a container with extra space.

• Make sure the lid is ready.

• Open the Pork Police Bait pack.

• Add the powder and shake immediately.

Once the mixture is ready, pour it directly over the corn.

Water First, Powder Second, Shake Immediately

Pork Police Bait was created to produce a thick coating instead of thin flavored water. Proper mixing activates that formula while helping the powder spread evenly.

Remember these three steps:

Water first. Powder second. Shake immediately for 60 seconds.

Following that process will give you the smoothest mixture and help Cherry Dynamite, Green Apple Grenade, or Molasses Madness coat up to 200 pounds of corn.
