Abstract
This invention relates to the containment of a poisoned rodent bait in a manner that isolates the bait from exposure to non target species and in a manner that allows the bait to be placed among agricultural crops with ease and efficiency. The rodent bait station contains a number of unique features that will allow agricultural users to identify the location of the stations for servicing with ease and speed, and provides for a method of securing the station to the ground that is integral to the construction of the station itself. Its novel shape allows for the placement of the bait stations in and among thickly grown vegetation, and in areas that are most likely to contain rodent harborages. The rodent bait station is designed as an entire system of rodenticide placement that incorporates features for the dispensing of bait, and for the operation of a large scale rodent elimination in difficult climatic and environmental conditions.
