A termite bait station for installation in the ground includes a tubular outer housing (22) and a tubular inner bait cartridge (24) inserted into the housing (22), each having circumferentially elongate apertures (36, 38) therethrough to allow termites to access bait in the cartridge. Each aperture (38) in the cartridge is disposed between a pair of spaced, parallel ribs (42) that extend in the circumferential direction. The ribs (42) reduce the radial gap that must be traversed by a termite passing from the outer housing (22) to the bait cartridge (24). The ribs (42) also form circumferentially extending channels for producing a channeling effect tending to lead termites into the apertures (38) in the cartridge.
