Abstract
The insect bait station comprises an outer shell covered with a toxicant-infused wax coating, and an insect lure disposed within the outer shell. Insects are drawn to the bait station by the insect lure (preferably a fruit fly lure). When the insects land on the bait station they are killed by the toxicant within the bait station wax coating.
