Abstract: A snail bait holder and pest trap in which a removably attached cover is seated on a vessel to form a bait chamber. An impervious replaceable tray is positioned in the bait chamber. The tray has a receptacle and contained within the receptacle of the tray is a layer of liquid adhesive. Disposed on the layer of liquid adhesive within the receptacle is a layer of bait material which adheres to the layer of liquid adhesive. Vessel walls are cut away to form ramps and openings for pests to travel over the ramps through the openings and into the bait chamber. The tray containing the bait and liquid adhesive is packaged for placement in the bait chamber with a thin film disposed over the tray. Before the tray with the bait and liquid adhesive is placed in the bait chamber, the thin film is removed from the tray.

Abstract: A snail bait holder and snail trap comprising a vessel and a cover which form a snail bait holding chamber. Disposed within the vessel is a laminated disc for supporting the snail bait. An upper layer of the laminated disc is made of a liquid absorbent material on which is deposited a slurry of snail bait. A lower layer of the laminated disc is made of a non-absorbent, flexible material so that mounds of snail bait are disposed on the upper layer. The vessel has an upwardly directed wall which is cut out to form openings. The cut out sections of the wall are bent outwardly and downwardly to form ramp over which a snail travels to enter the snail bait holding chamber.
