Abstract
There is disclosed an improved insect bait station and a method of treating insects with a toxicant. The improved insect bait station comprises a body member, the body member defining a bait area within the body member and an opening in the body member so that insects can enter the body member and feed on an attractant bait in the bait area. The insect bait station further comprises a toxicant applicator disposed in the body member, the toxicant applicator and the body member defining a passage of predetermined dimensions such that an insect which enters the body member or feeds on the bait therein contacts the toxicant applicator so that a toxicant substance is applied to the insect.
