ABSTRACT:
A liquid bait station for ants has separate nested inner and outer container sections with the inner container forming a liquid bait reservoir. The inner container section or reservoir has a lid that is closed whenever the outer container is closed, and access to the reservoir of liquid bait by the ants is indirect via one or more container access ports leading to a compartment inside the outer container and then via separate reservoir access ports leading from the compartment to the reservoir. In one embodiment, the reservoir lid comprises a raised portion in the inner surface of the outer container's own cover and the reservoir access ports are formed by depressions in that raised portion. In a second embodiment, the inner and outer container sections have separate lids, but at least one tang depending from the outer cover closes and holds down the inner lid whenever the outer cover is closed. The reservoir access ports can be holes in the inner lid. In a third embodiment, the ant bait station can be combined in a single integrated unit with a rodent bait station, provided there is a separate internal compartment and separate access for the rodents, and provided a partition completely isolates the ant compartment from the rodent compartment.
