TL;DR
A rodent bait station is the tamper-resistant locked box that holds rodenticide blocks on secured rods, allowing rats and mice to enter and feed while keeping children, pets, and wildlife away from the poison. EPA rules require this containment for outdoor residential baiting, and stations must be anchored so they cannot be carried off or shaken open.
