Abstract: A bait station designed to be deployed in an agricultural environment to exterminate flying insects such as fruit flies. The bait station consists of a plurality of shells each providing wall and roof sections. A hinge is provided to pivotable couple the shells together. A locking mechanism is used to lock the shells in a deployment mode. The locking mechanism can include a tab and slot arrangement. There are a plurality of holes on the bait station to disperse the attractant of the bait and attract flying sections. The bottom of the bait station is open assisting in the dissipation of the bait and to enable the flying insect to easily enter the bait station within having to walk through a small hole. An awning extends a sloped roof laterally past the outer wall to keep water and other debris away from the venting holes. A bait holder, containing bait, engages with the wall of the bait station. Flying insects digest the bait and die.
