Abstract:
1. An insect bait stake comprising a reservoir, an elongated stake portion extending downwardly from said reservoir, said reservoir having a cuttable opening therein and into which insecticide is inserted, and whereby said bait stake may be impaled within the ground and the cuttable opening is removed to allow access of insects to the insecticide during usage, said reservoir and said stake portion are integrally formed, and each of said reservoir and said state portion comprise one half of said insect bait stake, where the two halves of said insect bait stake are adhered together to form said bait stake for impaling within the ground, each of said stake portions extending outwardly of each of said reservoirs, and have a flat surface thereon, so as to adhere together to form said bait stake, an upper segment of each of said stake portions extending upwardly above the reservoir, and thereby provide a stable edge allowing for pressure to be applied thereon for forcing of the bait stake into the ground, the stake portion extending downwardly from said reservoir having a corrugated shape to add to its reinforcement, and an upper corner of said upper segment being severed to provide an opening into said filled reservoir bait stake, and said reservoir incorporated a series of internal landings to furnish a stair-step area for the ants to occupy as they move down the interior of said filled reservoir bait stake to attain access to the insecticide contained therein.
