Abstract

A bait station of the invention includes a container having an opening permitting a target pest to enter and exit, an internal chamber for storing a bait together with a pesticide, a lid which can be opened to permit direct access to the internal chamber, and three manually-releasable locking mechanisms capable of securing the lid to the container. The locking mechanisms are simultaneously actuated in order to release the lid from the container, and are spaced from each other by a distance sufficient to prevent a child from opening two of the locking mechanisms with one hand and the third with the other hand, but close enough to permit an adult to do so. The user must touch all three mechanisms and lift the lid at the same time to open the lid.
