ABSTRACT:
An insect feeding station (10) for administering a fluent substance such as a poisonous liquid bait to ants and other insects. The feeding station (10) comprises a housing (11) having an interior region (21) adapted to contain the fluent substance. The housing (10) has an opening (27) through which insects can enter and leave the interior region (21), and an internal structure (43) within the interior region (21) for facilitating access by the insects to the substance. The internal structure (43) may take various forms but typically is of a construction which is adapted to at least be partially covered by the substance when the latter is first introduced into the interior region (21) and which is progressively exposed as the substance is consumed. With this arrangement, the portion of the internal structure which is exposed provides a zone away from the liquid bait for supporting the bodies of dead insects. Thus the bodies are "dry-docked" on the internal structure from where they can be retrieved.
