The present invention discloses devices and methods for a durable insect bait station. Such devices including a membrane for providing access to the bait station, the membrane adapted to be permeable to volatile components, the membrane configured to allow easy insect-probe penetration, and to be resistant to degradation caused by outdoor environmental conditions and/or harsh indoor environmental conditions. Preferably, the membrane has at least one inclusion. Preferably, the membrane has at least one perforation. Preferably, the device further includes a bait core for providing bait to the bait station, the bait core including a sugar-source bait, at least one oral and/or contact insect toxin, and a solvent, wherein the bait core is configured to be substantially in direct contact with the membrane. Most preferably, the bait core further includes an odorant. Most preferably, the bait core further includes a fibrous material as a support for the membrane.

1. A device for a durable insect bait station, the device comprising: (a) an elastomeric membrane for providing access to the bait station, said membrane adapted to be permeable to volatile components, said membrane configured to allow easy insect-probe penetration for mosquitoes and other biting flies, said membrane having a hardness of less than about 60 Shore A and a thickness of less than about 100 microns, and said membrane configured to be resistant to degradation caused by ultraviolet (UV) exposure, wherein said membrane is composed of at least one elastomeric material selected from the group consisting of: polydimethyl siloxanes (PDMS) polymers, silicone rubber, aliphatic polyurethanes including those plasticized by high molecular-weight plasticizers that resist leaching and migration, ethylene-vinyl acetate, ethylene-acrylic ester copolymers and terpolymers, ethylene-propylene rubber, plastomers including ethylene-hexene and ethylene-octene copolymers, thermoplastic vulcanized rubber (TPV), hydrogenated block styrene-ethylene butylenes (SEBS), and block styrene isoprene (SIBS); and(b) a bait core for providing bait to the bait station, said bait core including a sugar-source bait, at least one oral and/or contact insect toxin, and a solvent, wherein said bait core is configured to be substantially in direct contact with said membrane. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein said membrane has a thickness of less than about 50 microns. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein said membrane has a hardness of less than about 50 Shore A. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein said membrane has at least one inclusion. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein said membrane has at least one perforation. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein said at least one perforation has an aperture diameter of at less than about 100 micron. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein said bait core further includes an odorant. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein said bait core further includes a fibrous material as a support for said membrane. 9. A method for providing a durable insect bait station, the method comprising the step of: (a) providing an elastomeric membrane for access to the bait station, wherein said membrane is adapted to be permeable to volatile components, wherein said membrane is configured to allow easy insect-probe penetration for mosquitoes and other biting flies, wherein said membrane has a hardness of less than about 60 Shore A and a thickness of less than about 100 microns, and wherein said membrane is configured to be resistant to degradation caused by ultraviolet (UV) exposure, wherein said membrane is composed of at least one elastomeric material selected from the group consisting of: polydimethyl siloxanes (PDMS) polymers, silicone rubber, aliphatic polyurethanes including those plasticized by high molecular-weight plasticizers that resist leaching and migration, ethylene-vinyl acetate, ethylene-acrylic ester copolymers and terpolymers, ethylene-propylene rubber, plastomers including ethylene-hexene and ethylene-octene copolymers, thermoplastic vulcanized rubber (TPV), hydrogenated block styrene-ethylene butylenes (SEBS), and block styrene isoprene (SIBS); and(b) providing a bait core to the bait station, wherein said bait core includes a sugar-source bait, at least one oral and/or contact insect toxin, and a solvent, and wherein said bait core is configured to be substantially in direct contact with said membrane. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said membrane has a thickness of less than about 50 microns. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein said membrane has a hardness of less than about 50 Shore A. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein said membrane has at least one inclusion. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein said membrane has at least one perforation. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein said at least one perforation has an aperture diameter of less than about 100 micron. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein said bait core further includes an odorant. 16. The method of claim 9, wherein said bait core further includes a fibrous material as a support for said membrane. 17. A method for providing a durable insect bait station, the method comprising the step of: (a) applying an elastomeric membrane to be substantially in direct contact with a bait core, wherein said membrane is adapted to be permeable to volatile components, wherein said membrane is configured to allow easy insect-probe penetration for mosquitoes and other biting flies, wherein said membrane has a hardness of less than about 60 Shore A and a thickness of less than about 100 microns, wherein said membrane is configured to be resistant to degradation caused by ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and wherein said bait core includes a sugar-source bait, at least one oral and/or contact insect toxin, and a solvent, wherein said membrane is composed of at least one elastomeric material selected from the group consisting of: polydimethyl siloxanes (PDMS) polymers, silicone rubber, aliphatic polyurethanes including those plasticized by high molecular-weight plasticizers that resist leaching and migration, ethylene-vinyl acetate, ethylene-acrylic ester copolymers and terpolymers, ethylene-propylene rubber, plastomers including ethylene-hexene and ethylene-octene copolymers, thermoplastic vulcanized rubber (TPV), hydrogenated block styrene-ethylene butylenes (SEBS), and block styrene isoprene (SIBS).
