The baiting device of the present invention acts to provide a device for exposing ants or other crawling insects to bait without allowing the bait to become dampened or blown away and while protecting small animals or children from eating the bait. The preferred ant bait or insect killer is placed within the sealed container. The lid of the container is locked into place by a fastener to a cap on top of the pipe so that the lid is not easily removed by animals or children. The baiting device is then stuck into the ground like a stake near the ant bed under attack. Because there is an open airway through the pipe to the bait within the container, the bait may be smelled by ants and other insects which may enter the container and remove bait through the holes in the pipe. The bait is protected within the container from exposure to the weather and other outside forces, as well as being sealed away from pets and children. In the preferred embodiment the level of bait remaining in the device may be monitored through the clear sides of the container.

[ I claim:] [11.] A device for inserting into the ground and holding bait for treating crawling insects comprising:a container having a cavity therein for holding bait;a stem having a hollow interior, the stem having an overall length, an upper portion, a lower portion, and an exposed intermediate portion, the lower portion comprising approximately one-quarter to one-third of the overall length and being insertable into the ground;the upper portion of the stem being disposed in the container, the upper portion and the intermediate portion each having at least one generally horizontal aperture extending into the hollow interior for providing crawling insects access into the hollow interior of the stem, the lower portion of the stem being adapted to be inserted in the ground and being free of horizontal apertures;the apertures in the intermediate portion of the stem, the hollow interior, and the apertures in the upper portion of the stem being in communication so as to provide a pathway for the crawling insects to access and remove the bait from the container.
