<p>Surface ground kits for controlling arthropods such as termites (1395), carpenter ants, fire ants and roaches. A chamber (1310) having an edible food source (1340) on a wood stake is pressed into the ground. The chamber can be cylindrical disc shaped and can be non-opaque so that the interior contents can be viewed. The chamber can have a layer of an edible non-toxic material such as foam and have a layer of non-edible foraging matrix that contains the slow-acting non-repellent toxicant. Arthropods (1395) can be attracted by the edible portion of the ground insertable member (1370) and can pass through the edible foam type layer and forage into the layer containing the non-edible material mixed with the slow-acting non-repellent toxicant back to their galleries and colonies (1390) where the arthropods (1395) are killed over time. Snap tops, screwable threads, and hinged tops allow the chambers (1310) to be monitored and/or reusable.</p> |
