Abstract
This invention relates to rodent bait stations in general and more specifically to a method of preventing loose bait from falling from these stations when they are tipped or shaken. This design incorporates a new and unique method of isolating the bait within the station when the station has been picked up and put into a position that would allow toxic material to fall free. In effect, the use of this device will allow users to bait for rodents in areas that might become accessible to children, pets and wildlife without fear that the rodenticide will come into contact with non-target species.
