US 12,727,591 B2 · Large fly bait multi-station tool

Abstract

A flying insect station includes a surface that is treated with a bait product, such as a pesticide. The surface of the station is an attractant to flying insects, such as large flies, due to contrasting colors and/or a pattern surface, which increases interaction by flies with the surface and also aids in the retention of the pesticide at the surface. The patterns can take many forms. In addition, the surface can include portions that are smooth at the molecular level and other portions that are textured in order to better hold and retain the pesticide. The station, in conjunction with the pesticide, allows a service specialist to use the product on a placement surface in more places indoors than they could by spraying during non-operational hours.
