CLIP APPARATUS

Abstract

A clip apparatus having multiple planar surfaces configured for the engagement of a pest strip is disclosed. Certain planar surfaces are arranged at an angle to a base planar surface in order to accommodate the pest strip and to keep the pest strip from being dislodged. The clip apparatus enables pest strip deployment on walls and within trash receptacles.
