Abstract
The invention is a baiting station for rodents. The baiting station comprises a housing, a lid, and a partition. The partition is transitional between two positions corresponding to two different modes of use of the baiting station. In the first position, the partition divides the internal space of the housing into a tunnel accessible by a rodent and an enclosed bait compartment that is inaccessible while the lid is closed. In the second position, the partition either lays flat with the bottom wall of the housing or is removed from the housing, thus allowing for placement of mechanical or glue traps within the housing.
Claims11
A baiting station for rodents, comprising:
- a housing having two longitudinal walls, two lateral walls, and a bottom wall, the walls collectively defining an internal space;
- at least one entry opening disposed on a lateral or a longitudinal wall, the entry opening configured to allow a rodent to pass therethrough;
- a partition disposed within the housing, the partition being transitional between a first and a second positions within the housing, the partition configured to divide the internal space of the housing into first and second compartments when the partition is in the first position, wherein the partition is cut out from the bottom wall of the housing and forms the bottom wall of the housing in the second position;
- a lid adapted to selectively enclose the internal space of the housing;
- and
- a lock system configured to retain the lid in a closed position;
- wherein the first and the second positions of the partition correspond to two different modes of use of the baiting station, the first position corresponding to a poisoned bait mode in which the first compartment is configured to retain a poisoned bait preventing direct access thereto from outside the housing while permitting access thereto from the second compartment, the second position corresponding to a trap mode in which the internal space of the housing is configured to retain a rodent trap.
