Abstract: A bait carrier for pesticides comprising a waste product selected from the group consisting of bakery waste, confectionery waste, snack waste and cereal waste. The waste product has a particle size between 6 mesh and 100 mesh and a density between 6 pounds per cubic foot and 40 pounds per cubic foot. After production of the bait carrier, pesticides are added to the carrier by others. The bait carrier serves as an attractant bait for delivery of the pesticide to a pest.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for processing shelled corn cobs. The cobs are graded, aspirated, and crushed for reducing the length of the cobs to between 1/2 inch and 3 inches. A second aspirator removes any remaining husks and hammer mills reduce the corn cobs into 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch pieces. The pieces are graded and oversized pieces are returned to a hammer mill while the remaining pieces are dried in a drier to reduce their moisture content. After grading, a portion of the pieces are sent through an attrition mill to further reduce the size of the pieces. After aspirating, the pieces are processed through roller mills to further reduce the size of the pieces and then passed through an attrition mill and graded into final product sizes.
