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 termite bait stations, each of the termite bait stations containing termite toxicants;
• locating the termite bait stations up to approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other, and surrounding a wood-containing structure;
• providing a solution 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 connecting each termite bait station;
• and
• forming a closed loop perimeter spaced outside around the wood-containing structure with the termite bait stations and the continuous trail, wherein the continuous trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood-containing structure into one of the termite 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;
• locating the termite monitoring stations up to approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other surrounding a wood-containing structure;
• providing a solution 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;
• and
• forming a closed loop perimeter spaced outside around the wood-containing structure with the spaced apart termite monitoring stations and the continuous trail, wherein the continuous trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood-containing structure and into one of the termite monitoring stations, the termite monitoring stations containing termite toxicants.
