Abstract
This invention relates to the containment of rodent baits in a protected container that can easily be serviced by authorized technicians and one that presents baits to a target rodent population. Specifically, the device is designed to provide a pest control operator with a highly effective and protective containment structure that can be adopted to numerous forms of rodent baits and one that can be knocked down to form a relatively flat package when not in use. This use of a knock down device provides the user with a device that can be efficiently stored prior to installation and one that can be shipped economically over long distances. The use of two separate gates or containment sections allows the refill of only that section of the bait structure that may have been attacked by the rodents and conserves the use of bait to the actual feeding patterns of the rodent population. Additionally, the use of separate, removable compartments allows for ease of refill and for the mixing of types of rodenticides to best measure the effect of the various forms on the target population and to present that form that the rodents find to be most palatable.
