Abstract
A bait station comprises a base having first and second side walls connected together along a corner and extending preferably at about a 90.degree. angle to one another, and a cover secured to the side walls to form a triangular unit. A pair of mutually-facing, C-shaped projections extend into the interior chamber of the bait station from the corner between the side walls at an angle of 45.degree. to each side wall. (In one embodiment, top projections extend downwardly from the cover adjacent the base projections.) A bait material is positioned in the station between the C-shaped base projections. The bait station is advantageously positioned on a surface adjacent a wall, and insects and the like crawling along the wall are directed into the station and to the bait. The design of the bait station makes it useful with either of the side walls placed as the bottom of the unit.
