Abstract
A bait station for attracting and killing insects with a nithiazine-type insecticide is constructed in a substantially flat configuration, with the insecticide formulated as a solid coating on the surface of a solid sheet of moisture-free nonabsorptive material, the station further containing one or more ampoules of an attractant composition. The coated sheet and ampoules are held in a housing, with the ampoules in a compressible portion of the housing permitting them to be manually broken to discharge their contents on command, the housing containing appropriately positioned openings to both expose the insecticide surface and to permit release of the attractant vapors.
