Abstract:
1. A pest control bait station, comprising: a cover member having at least one raised dome region formed thereupon and extending away from an outer surface thereof, the at least one raised dome region further having at least one pest access aperture per raised dome region; a base member including a seal member and at least one bait well formed therein such that the seal member forms a perimeter entirely around each well, each bait well further having a reservoir region circumscribed by an outer wall and having a base wall; a pest conveyance structure extending from the base wall of each well to a position proximate to the at least one pest access aperture, pest bait disposed in each reservoir for attracting and killing pests; wherein the pest access aperture is formed on an apex of the dome region to reduce the entry of rain water into the at least one bait well and wherein the pest conveyance structure originates and extends away from the outer wall and substantially across the reservoir region of the base member; wherein the seal member is attached to an inner surface of the cover member providing a sealed perimeter entirely around each of the at least one bait well that prevents the bait from moving through the sealed perimeter, such that the at least one raised dome region is spaced apart from the sealed perimeter and is aligned with the at least one well, and at least a portion of the pest conveyance structure is substantially aligned with the at least one pest access aperture of the corresponding raised dome region to provide a pest access space for allowing a desired pest to enter and exit the bait station.
