The insect control station according to claim 1, wherein the base includes the first resilient catch such that the base includes the pressing surface and wherein, when the pressing surface is depressed, the cover remains generally motionless until moved by hand such that removing the cover from the base is a two handed operation with one hand depressing the pressing surface and with the other hand moving the cover. 3. The insect control station according to claim 1, wherein the periphery of the cover comprises first and second opposing portions, wherein the first resilient catch is recessed relative to the first opposing portion, wherein the insect control station further comprises a second resilient catch, wherein the second resilient catch is recessed relative to the second opposing portion, and wherein a distance between the first and second opposing portions is generally about the width of a hand of an average sized adult male whereby a child is less likely able to depress the first and second resilient catches at the same time. 4. The insect control station according to claim 1, wherein the base and cover as a whole includes an "x" direction, a "y" direction, and a "z" direction, with each of the directions being perpendicular to each of the other directions, wherein each of the base and cover comprises an opposing surface, with the opposing surfaces opposing each other when the base and cover are engaged and the first resilient catch is in the closed position, and: a) wherein, when the first resilient catch is in the closed position, movement of the base and cover relative to each other is minimized in the "x, y and z" directions; b) wherein, when the first resilient catch is depressed such that the first resilient catch is in the open position, the base and cover are slideable relative to each other in the "x" direction; c) wherein the base and cover include stops, wherein said base and cover are relatively slideable in the "x" direction until said stops abut each other; d) wherein, when the base and cover slide relative to each other in the "x" direction, the opposing surfaces become separate relative to the other in the "z" direction such that each of the opposing surfaces may move away from each other in the "z" direction and such that the cover and base may move away from each other in the "z" direction such that the insect control station requires a two step operation for removal of the cover from the base; e) wherein the two-step operation comprises first depressing the pressing surface so as to release the first resilient catch to enable the cover and base to slide relative to each other in the "x" direction; and f) wherein the two-step operation comprises second sliding the cover and base relative to each other in the "x" direction to move the opposing surfaces away from each other in the "z" direction so as to enable the cover and base to be separated from each other in the "z" direction. 5. The insect control station according to claim 1, wherein the base generally defines a plane and wherein the cover generally defines a plane and wherein the base and cover comprise: a) means for preventing the base and cover from being drawn apart on a line normal to both of the planes upon depressing and opening the first resilient catch; b) means for permitting a sliding of the base and cover relative to each other in one direction upon depressing and opening the first resilient catch and means for stopping said sliding in said one direction; and c) means for permitting the base and cover to be drawn apart on the line after the base and cover have been slid relative to each other such that the inside of the insect control station is accessed after two distinct steps. 6. The insect control station according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the base and cover comprises a sidewall, wherein the sidewall is between the base and cover, wherein the sidewall includes an outer surface, and wherein the pressing surface of the first resilient catch comprises a surface characteristic different from the outer surface of the sidewall such that the pressing surface of the first resilient catch can be distinguished from the outer surface of the sidewall on the basis of touch. 7. The insect control station according to claim 1, wherein the first resilient catch comprises a catch portion on the base and a catch portion on the cover, wherein one of the catch portions comprises a tapered surface such that, when the cover and base are being moved toward the closed position, the first resilient catch is drawn against said bias by said tapered surface until the catch portions catch each other. 8. An insect control station, comprising: a) a base; b) a cover for the base, wherein the cover comprises a periphery, and wherein the base and cover define an inside of the insect control station; c) openings in at least one of the base and cover to permit insects to enter the inside of the insect control station; d) a first direction of movement between the base and the cover; e) a second direction of movement between the base and the cover; f) a connection between the base and the cover, wherein the connection includes a closed position and an open position; g) wherein, when the connection is in the closed position and before the base and cover have been moved in the first direction, the base, cover and connection are shaped to prevent movement between the base and the cover in the first and second directions; h) wherein, when the connection is in the open position, the base, cover and connection are shaped: i) to allow movement between the base and cover in the first direction from a first location; ii) to stop movement between the base and cover in the first direction at a second location; and iii) to prevent movement between the base and cover in the second direction; i) wherein, when the connection is in the open position and after the base and cover have been moved in the first direction, the base, cover and connection are shaped to allow movement between the base and cover in the second direction whereby the base and cover may be drawn away from each other to gain access to the inside of the insect control station; and j) an insect control characteristic in the insect control station. 9.
