1. A rodent bait dispenser comprising: a dispenser assembly; said dispenser assembly having a bait dispensing head with a piston slidably disposed therein to define a bait chamber in said bait dispensing head; said bait dispensing head comprising a substantially closed proximal end and an open distal end; said piston assembly including a pair of piston members fixedly spaced with respect to each other, a first piston member of said pair acting as an end cap for said bait dispensing head and a second piston member of said pair serving as a bait moving piston; and an activator mechanism having a handle and having a wire generally enclosed by a flexible sleeve; said flexible sleeve disposed between the activator mechanism and the proximal end of the bait dispensing head; said wire coupled to said piston assembly for controlling extension and retraction of said piston assembly in relation to said bait dispensing head; wherein, in a retracted position, said piston assembly is entirely contained within said bait dispensing head such that the first piston member caps said open distal end; and wherein, in an extended position, the piston assembly is extended distally away from said bait dispensing head such that the first piston member extends out of said bait chamber to expose said bait chamber.
