Abstract
A trash can bait station device is provided designed to discreetly trap rodents or pests while maintaining the appearance and functionality of a standard garbage receptacle. The device comprises a body shaped like a typical garbage can, with features such as a lid, wheels, and handles. The body includes an opening at the bottom that houses a removable trap station, which is equipped with an entrance for rodents, a bait area, and a trap. The trap station may also have a transparent viewing window to allow users to monitor its contents without removing it from the trash can, thereby preventing detection by unauthorized individuals. The device employs different locking mechanisms to secure both the lid and the trap station, enhancing safety by restricting access to children.
