A bait station (20) has a base (22) with upwardly extending sidewalls (26) and a hinged lid (32). A passageway for rodents such as rats is formed within the interior volume of the covered base by two converging barriers (54), the ends of which are spaced from one another to allow access to a rodent feeding trough. Each barrier (54) is formed by a segment (56) which extends upwardly from the base floor and a segment (58) which extends downwardly from the lid. Upwardly opening slots (112) are formed on the base barrier segments (56). A bait support rod (21) extends between the two base barrier segments (56) and is engaged in the slots (112). Bait units are supported on the rod (21) generally above the rodent feeding trough. The support rod (21) has a downwardly extending loop which engages between one base barrier segment (56) and a wall of the feeding trough to restrict side-to-side movement of the rod (21). <IMAGE> |
