ABSTRACT:
A bait station for rodents, an elongate, hollow tubular structure having a single opening to and from its interior. This station is formed of tubing fabricated, preferably, of tough, corrosion, weather and distortion resistant plastic such as a polyvinylchloride. Its preferred configuration provides that one end portion of its tubular structure is enlarged as to its cross sectional area to define a bait chamber the entrance to and exit from which is limited to a single passage, defined by its remaining length the remote end of which provides the single opening to and exit from the passage. The cross sectional area of said passage is made substantially less than that of said chamber. This precludes entrance by animals larger than that of the target rodents. Preferred bait embodies a non-poisonous anti-coagulant, ingestion of which produces a breakdown of the rodent's life support system and its expiration, but not until some time after the rodent leaves the vicinity of the bait station. Most preferred embodiments of the invention have one or more very small apertures in the wall of their bait chamber and the end remote therefrom arranged for press fit in a tubular adapter which forms an extension thereof. This adapter may be inserted in a hole formed in the wall of a dumpster, other waste container or building, adjacent its base, and suitably secured thereto to dispose the interconnected bait station within the structure to which it applies with only its access opening revealed at the exterior of the wall.
