Abstract
A burrowing rodent extermination device comprising a stick form poison bait (10) in a dispenser. (22) The dispenser (22) has an elongated tubular body (23) with a foot (21) disposed to slide thereon for setting ground penetration depth. The bait stick (10) is gravity fed into a rodent tunnel (24) through the tubular body (23) thereby providing more bait (10) for consumption. A rod (12) is attached to the top of the bait stick (10) for lowering and lifting without any human contact. (22) The rod (12) is visible above ground and indicates consumption of the bait stick. (10) A marker (15) is attached to a top potion of the rod (12) to make the device more visible.
Claims3
A method of exterminating burrowing rodents using a bait stick in a dispenser with the following steps:
- a. locating a rodent tunnel using a probe,
- b. making an access hole with said probe for inserting a device,
- c. estimating the depth of said tunnel using said probe,
- d. sliding a foot laterally on said dispenser to match depth of said tunnel,
- e. inserting said device in said access hole,
- f. lowering said bait stick into said tunnel using an attached rod,
- g. monitoring consummation of said bait stick by measuring length of said rod,
- h. locating said device by the use of a marker attached to a top portion of said rod,
- i. retrieving unconsumed said bait stick by lifting on said rod.
A device for exterminating burrowing rodents comprising:
- a stick form poison bait having two ends with one end attached to a rod, and
- a marker attached to a top portion of said rod for indicating location, and
- a dispenser having an elongated tubular body with a foot, and
- said foot disposed to slide laterally along said tubular body for a depth setting,
- whereby said bait stick is lowerable and retrievable from said dispenser.
A burrowing rodent extermination device comprising:
- a first means for poisoning and causing a rodent to perish;
- a second means for setting ground penetration;
- a third means for dispensing and retrieving said poison;
- a forth means for visually indicating the consumption of said poison;
- a fifth means for marking the location of said device.
