Abstract: A method of dispensing vermin and insect poison includes a quantity of poison, a poison dispenser and at least one retention device. The poison dispenser preferably includes a poison retention area and at least one tubular passage leading to the poison retention area. The cross section of the at least one tubular passage is large enough to only allow a particular size of vermin to enter and not a larger creature. The poison retention area is preferably covered with a fill cap. At least one scent opening may be formed adjacent the poison retention area to allow a special scent to be placed adjacent the poison. The at least one retention device would be inserted into or around the poison dispenser and to a surface, such as the ground or an object adjacent the poison dispenser. The at least one retention device would prevent the poison dispenser from being moved.
