Abstract: An Apparatus for the containment and delivery of compound to rats includes a delivery housing having an entry and an exit for rats, permanently installed at a select location on a custom designed grid in an area determined to be infested by rats requiring elimination. A compound is placeable and contained in the secured delivery housings such that rats will contact the compound when passing through the delivery housings on the grid. A plurality of Delivery Housings on the custom designed grid for placement will be the means to deem an area rat free, one without the other will not suffice. The apparatus will be periodically reviewed to ensure the area is deemed rat free. Methods for using the apparatuses are also described.
