An insect control station for baiting and/or trapping insects that includes a base, a cover, and an insert locked between the base and cover. The insert is preferably a glueboard or tray. The glueboard, to which insects stick, is used for trapping insects in an environment. The tray is used for holding a toxic bait or attractant that the insect takes back to its nest. The tray may also be used to hold glue for trapping purposes. To maximize the safety of the naive person, especially a child, who does not know what an insect control station is, the base and cover are locked to each other with two hand operated keyless locks that operate independently of the other. The keyless locks are recessed relative to the cover at a span having a width greater than a child's hand such that a child may not operate the locks at the same time with one hand. The operating portion of the lock is located on the base so that if two hands operate the two different locks, the cover will not move. Further, the cover must first slide away from the locks before the cover may be removed from the base, whereupon access to the interior is gained. The base and cover are shaped to hold the insert against a floor of the base even if the insect control station is mounted upside down. The insect control station further has a low profile so that it can be tucked into narrow spaces, is rigid so that it can be stepped on without damaging the insert, and includes ramped openings for the crawling insects. The invention further discloses a method for controlling insects.
