You’ve Made the Right Choice
You’ve read the features. You’ve read the testimonials. You’ve arrived at the conclusion — perhaps slowly, perhaps reluctantly — that you need a Rat Bucket™. Whit Corp is proud of you.
How to Order
By Phone (Strongly Preferred):
Call 1-800-RAT-BCKT and a Whit Corp Consumer Solutions Representative will assist you.
Lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 364 days a year.
We are closed on Arbor Day. This was a condition negotiated into the Whit Corp employee union contract in 1993 as part of a broader dispute about the third-floor vending machine. The vending machine issue was not resolved. Arbor Day remained. We have tried to change it. We cannot.
By Mail:
Send a completed Order Form WC-RB-OF-1998-REV-3 with a check or money order payable to “Whit Corp International Holdings LLC — Rodent Containment Division” to:
Whit Corp International Holdings LLC Rodent Containment Division 1 Whitmore Plaza, Suite 4700 Grand Rapids, MI 49503
Order forms are available by calling 1-800-RAT-BCKT and requesting one. Allow 2–3 weeks for form delivery. Completed forms should be returned with payment. Allow an additional 6–8 weeks for processing after the form is received. Please note that the form and the bucket may not arrive simultaneously. Whit Corp considers this acceptable.

The Whit Corp 30-Day Money-Back Promise™
Your Rat Bucket™ is backed by Whit Corp’s complete corporate confidence — that of approximately 47,000 employees across 12 industry verticals, most of whom have never handled a rat.
If you are not completely satisfied with your Rat Bucket™ for any reason, return it within 30 days for a full refund, minus:
- Shipping ($7.99)
- Handling ($2.50 — original)
- Return shipping (your responsibility)
- Restocking fee ($4.99)
- Whit Corp Satisfaction Assessment Surcharge ($1.49 — non-refundable by statute)
- A processing hold of 14–21 business days while your refund is reviewed by the Returns Evaluation Committee
To initiate a return, call 1-800-RAT-BCKT and request the Returns Department. The Returns Department is available Monday–Friday, 9am–3pm Central, except:
- Federal holidays
- The week between Christmas and New Year’s
- The third Thursday of every month (staff development)
- Arbor Day (see above)
The guarantee is void if the bucket has been used to store rats. The guarantee is void if the bucket has been used at all. The guarantee is also, for reasons Whit Corp’s legal team declines to explain fully, void in Nebraska.
Rat Bucket™ is manufactured in a facility that produces buckets. We make the bucket. What you do with it is your business. Whit Corp wishes you and your snake well.
