Termite trailing and recruitment product and process

A method for trailing and recruiting termites to termite bait stations containing termite toxicants, comprising the steps of

• providing a plurality of individual termite bait stations, each of the termite bait stations containing termite toxicants;
• positioning the termite bait stations approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other, and surrounding a wood-containing structure;
• providing a solution consisting of approximately 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE) dissolved in water;
• applying a continuous trail of the solution to a soil surface and connecting each termite bait station to adjacent bait stations, forming a closed loop perimeter spaced outside around the wood-containing structure, wherein each trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood-containing structure into one of the individual bait stations containing the termite toxicants.

A method for trailing and recruiting termites to termite monitoring stations, comprising the steps of

• providing a plurality of individual termite monitoring stations;
• positioning the termite monitoring stations approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other, and surrounding “after the word” stations surrounding a wood-containing structure;
• providing a solution consisting of 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE) dissolved in water;
• applying a continuous trail of the solution to a soil surface and connecting each of the termite monitoring stations to adjacent termite monitoring stations;
• forming a closed loop perimeter spaced outside around the wood-containing structure with the spaced apart termite monitoring stations, wherein each trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood-containing structure and into one of the individual termite monitoring stations, the individual termite monitoring stations containing termite toxicants.

A method for trailing and recruiting termites, consisting of the steps of:

• providing a plurality of individual stations selected from the group consisting of individual termite bait stations and individual termite monitoring stations, the individual termite bait stations and the individual termite monitoring stations contain termite toxicants;
• positioning the individual stations approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other surrounding a wood-containing structure;
• providing a solution consisting between approximately 0.1% and approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE) dissolved in water;
• applying a continuous trail of the solution to a soil surface and connecting each of the individual stations to adjacent stations;
• forming a closed loop perimeter spaced outside around the wood-containing structure, wherein each trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood-containing structure into one of the individual stations containing the termite toxicants.
