Abstract
A reusable and refillable insect bait container having insect base passageways to its interior bait reservoir, a removable top cap, and a lower ground engaging support stake member. The ground engaging stake member has upper protrusions that engage base notches to hold these two components together. The cap has a lower mating indent which engages a protruding member on the base to hold these components together in a snap fit relationship. When access to the base's reservoir is desired, the removable cap is pulled off by a tab and the bait needed inserted. Both the base and cap should be made of a flexible weather resistant material, such as rubber or soft plastic, to permit the firmer stake material and its protrusions to easily be inserted in a locking manner into the base.
