A rodent management station comprising: a housing having an interior space and including a base and a lid together at least in part defining the interior space of the housing, the lid being positionable relative to the base between a closed configuration of the station in which the interior space is substantially enclosed, and an opened configuration of the station in which the interior space is accessible for servicing, said housing having an entry opening through which rodents enter the interior space of the housing, said housing further having internal partition structure configured to partition the interior space of the housing into a bait chamber having an entryway spaced from the entry opening of the housing, and a pathway defined at least in part by the partition structure and extending from the at least one entry opening to the entryway of the bait chamber, the partition structure having at least one through-opening therein other than at the bait chamber entryway to provide open communication between the pathway and the bait chamber other than at said bait chamber entryway, said at least one through-opening being sized substantially smaller than the housing entry opening and the bait chamber entryway to inhibit rodents against entering the bait chamber at the at least one through-opening.
