ABSTRACT:
A poison dispenser for fire ants and other small insects comprising a base adapted to be staked to the ground in an infested area, and a roof supported on the base. The roof extends down over the base almost to the ground to define a narrow space around the perimeter of the trap to enable ants and other insects to enter the enclosure. The roof is supported by an upstanding tubular member mounted on the base, and having openings at its lower end. A quantity of poison bait is placed within the tubular member. The poison dispenser of the invention protects the bait from the weather, and it also eliminates the need to cover wide exposed areas with the bait, or to locate the ant hills, or to dispense poison on the individual ant hills. In addition, the poison dispenser isolates the bait from children, cats, dogs, birds and the like.
