Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012120263A1] The invention relates to pest control and is particularly concerned with the control of rodents such as mice and rats. In large areas such as housing complexes, factories, industrial and commercial sites and multi- story office blocks, considerable numbers of bait stations may need to be provided, and hitherto, they all needed to be visited by an operative to check if bait had been taken and needed to be replenished. This is very time consuming, particularly if, as is frequently so, a particular bait station need not have been visited, given that no bait had been taken. An objection of the invention is to overcome the above disadvantage, an objective met by a bait station (1) that comprises a holder (9) for bait, weighing means (15) associated with the holder, and signalling means to emit a signal confirming the amount of bait on the holder.
