  • Patent number: 5875586
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus dispensing a liquid bait in a refillable manner. The invention provides a transparent bait station in which is mounted to a structure. A liquid bait is injected into the bait station to initially fill and then refill the bait station. The bait is a slow acting toxicant and attractant. The bait station is formed to allow access by bugs, but not by larger animals. The bait station is also able to protect the bait from wind and rain. The bait station prevents leakage of the toxicant if the bait station is tumbled or placed in an incorrect position. The bait station is able to hold two different liquid baits, which may be two different poisons, or a poison and an attractant. An embodiment of the bait station provides a series of inner walls to minimize the leakage of liquid bait, if the liquid bait station is tumbled.
