Camera orientations and bait station configurations for bait monitoring A standard 5-cm diameter × 30-cm long polyvinyl chloride (PVC) horizontal bait station suspended by nylon paracord from a wooden dowel armature with infrared camera positioned with the bait in the field of view; the two ends of the armature are temporarily lashed to natural vegetation with elastic cords B extended 5 × 45-cm horizontal bait tube C capped 5 × 30-cm vertical bait tube D capped 10 × 30-cm vertical bait tube. Baits in horizontal bait tubes were held in place by gravity, while baits were held in the caps of vertical bait tubes by spring clamps on one foot of the bait. As baits in vertical bait tubes were not visible to the camera, a length of biodegradable flagging was tied to one leg of the bait and pulled through a small hole in the side of the tube for ease of identifying when the bait was taken during camera image review.
