A spill resistant insect bait station having a continuous outer wall leading from the base or bottom surface up to an upper annular surface having a central axial recessed opening therein leading down to a bait source contained in the interior of the station, the interior of the station having an inverted conical concave part shape, so as to provide for flooding or concentration of the bait to the lowest point of the cone or concave part which communicates in close proximity with an opening in the bottom of the central axial recessed opening in which the insect can climb the outer wall to enter the station to retrieve the bait and then exit the station carrying bait back to the insect habitat.
