Rodent bait station

Abstract

An embodiment of a bait station comprises a rotatable lid and air-tight bait compartments. An additional compartment also contains bait and is accessible to rodents as they enter the station. The rotatable lid is configured to hold the bait within the compartments and can be rotated in order to replace the previously accessible bait with fresh bait from a different compartment. A key can be attached to an extension pole in order to unlock and rotate the rotatable lid without requiring a person to kneel down or bend over. A base having two entrances provides an inviting environment for rodents.

1 . A bait station comprising:
 a base having a plurality of compartments configured to properly store bait and a compartment configured to be accessible to rodents, and   an upper member which holds portions of bait within the compartments, the upper member being rotatably configured so that rotating the upper member places the portions of bait into different compartments.   
     
     
         2 . The bait station of  claim 1 , wherein the upper member comprises a lock with a corresponding key, the key being configured to attach to an extension pole. 
     
     
         3 . The bait station of  claim 1 , wherein the compartments are separated by removable inner walls. 
     
     
         4 . The bait station of  claim 1 , wherein the compartments not accessible to rodents are configured to be air-tight. 
     
     
         5 . The bait station of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a foot platform. 
     
     
         6 . A bait station comprising:
 a plurality of compartments separated by walls and configured to store bait, the compartments being rotatable so that rotating the compartments causes a different compartment to be accessible to rodents,   a lid which covers the compartments and rotates with the compartments, and   at least one hole through which rodents can enter the bait station.   
     
     
         7 . The bait station of  claim 6 , wherein the lid comprises a lock which corresponds to a key, the key being configured to attach to an extension pole. 
     
     
         8 . The bait station of  claim 7 , wherein the key comprises a threaded portion which corresponds to general broom handles and extension poles. 
     
     
         9 . The bait station of  claim 6 , wherein the lid comprises a lock which corresponds to a key, the key being configured to assist in lifting the lid away from the bait station. 
     
     
         10 . The bait station of  claim 6 , wherein the compartments are configured to be air-tight when not accessible to the rodents. 
     
     
         11 . A bait station comprising:
 a base having a compartment portion and an entry portion configured to allow rodents to enter the station and access the compartment portion, the compartment portion having a plurality of compartments for storing bait, one compartment being accessible to rodents, the entry portion having at least one hole big enough for a rodent to fit through,   a rotatable lid connected to the top of the compartment portion of the base and configured to hold portions of bait, the lid being configured so that rotating the lid moves the bait portions into different compartments,   a lock on the rotatable lid,   a key which unlocks the lock, the key having an attachment portion configured to be attached to an extension pole.
