ABSTRACT:
A bait station for crawling insects and method for presenting bait to targeted insects. The bait station includes a base and a cover fastened to the base. The base includes a bait cup with a bait cup wall. At least one side support extends upwardly above the level of the bait cup wall and extends longitudinally generally along the bait cup wall. The cover includes a shell that defines a walkway between the shell wall and the bait cup wall. The shell also includes a roof that spans the space encompassed by the shell wall, the roof being supportable by the side support. An antechamber is defined on one side by the side support and on another side by the shell wall. The floor of the antechamber is continuous with the floor of the walkway. An antechamber door in the shell wall opens into the antechamber to admit targeted insects thereto and is so located that straight line access through the antechamber door to the bait cup is blocked by the side support. The antechamber is sufficiently wide from the side support to the shell wall as to provide room for a targeted insect to enter the bait station through the antechamber door and avoid the side support by entering the walkway, thus gaining access to any bait contained in the bait cup. The method of the invention includes providing such a bait station, containing a selected bait within the bait cup and placing the bait station on a surface where targeted insects crawl.
