Abstract
This invention relates to the packaging of a rodenticide product for consumer use in a manner the will inhibit the spillage of rodenticide when the user opens the package for presentation of the rodenticide to the target species such as house mice or rats. Inherent in the art is the teaching of a method of presentation that is not only user friendly, but one that provides the rodent with an environment that is conducive to its natural patterns of eating and concealment. The instant invention provides a safer method of offering a poisoned bait to a rodent population while also insuring that the palatability of the bait will be enhanced by providing the rodent with a secure habitat for its consumption of the poisoned product, thereby increasing the overall effectiveness of the baiting program.
