Abstract
The assembly for poison baiting rodents comprises a housing, an elongated hollow tubular element and a cover. The housing has an inner chamber that is sufficiently large to contain poison bait material. The elongated hollow tubular element has a coupling end and a length effective to fit the element inside the inner chamber of the housing when it is detached from the housing. The outer wall configuration includes an opening to receive the coupling end of the tubular element. The tubular element has a bore size sufficient to allow rodents to enter the inner chamber to feed on the poison bait while preventing larger animals from entering the inner chamber when the element is attached to the wall. The tubular element has a length sufficient to prevent animals other than rodents from gaining access to the inner chamber.
Claims10
In an assembly for poison baiting rodents, said assembly including a housing and a plurality of elongated tubular elements having an inlet, and outlet and a bore size sufficient to allow rodents to enter and exit from the inside of the housing and the tubular elements having a sufficient length to prevent animals other than rodents from gaining access to the inside of the housing, the improvement comprising:
- (a) the housing having an outer wall configuration including a plurality of flat planar sections with opening means in each said planar section,
- (b) an elongated tubular element for each of the opening means in said housing,
- (c) said housing defines an inner chamber sufficiently large to contain the total plurality of elongated tubular elements before said tubular elements are attached to said opening means,
- (d) each said tubular element including coupling means at one end thereof for fixedly connecting the tubular element to the opening means to extend outwardly from the opening means in the outer wall configuration,
- (e) said opening means being spaced around the outer periphery of the housing to attach the tubular elements at locations to maintain the device in an upright position without the necessity for a means to fix the elongated elements to the surface on which the assembly is disposed.
