Insect Liquid Bait House by PaperGorilla

We got ants in our house, and I already had some liquid bait / poison, but didn't want to just leave a puddle on a windowsill for our dog to taste-test. This is a quick little print that should do the trick.
A 4mm deep dish in the center holds the bait, and a ring around the sides allows them to pass up and into the central chamber after the top is sealed with tape or something. I used clear tape so I can see whether any ants are inside, and whether there is still bait left in the dish.
Appropriate edges are sloped to keep small drips out, but please don't leave insect poison outdoors where it will disrupt the local ecosystem. There are more effective and ethical ways of controlling pests in the lawn and garden. This should work great for indoor window ledges, under furniture, by doorways, etc.
