TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING PALATABILITY OF A BAIT MATERIAL IN A PEST CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

A bait container (300), comprising a body (302) with an upper end portion (330) opposite a lower end portion (340); and a chamber (240) within the body for holding a bait; the upper end portion being configured to engage with a closure (90), the closure being engaged by threading to the body, the lower end portion including a lower edge (400) defined by the bottom terminus (401) of the container and a setback member (379) in the form of a partition (380); wherein, the lower edge defines a lower end opening (405); the partition defines the lower boundary (378) for bait within the chamber; and the partition includes a plurality of openings (390) intersecting the chamber, structured to facilitate access of subterranean termites to the bait.
