Inground and above ground termite trailing and recruitment products and processes

A method for trailing and recruiting termites to a termite station containing termite toxicants, comprising the steps of:

• providing a termite station that contains a termite toxicant, the termite station selected from the group consisting of a termite bait station and a termite monitoring station;
• providing a wood structure on which the termite station is mounted, the wood structure is selected from the group consisting of a wood based house structure, a wood tree, wood fence, a wood post, a wood boat, a wood pallet and stacked wood, the wood structure having a termite gallery with termites, with the termite station mounted to the wood structure adjacent to the termite gallery;
• and
• providing a solution of approximately 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE), dissolved in water;
• and
• applying the solution to the termite gallery, so the termites are directed to the termite station with the termite toxicant.

A method for trailing and recruiting termites to a termite station containing termite toxicants, comprising the steps of:

• providing an inground dispenser having a solution of approximately 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE), dissolved in water, which releases the solution to a soil surface to attract termites;
• and
• locating a termite station adjacent to the dispenser, adjacent to wood having termites, the wood selected from the group consisting of a wood based house structure, a wood tree, a plurality of wood trees, a wood fence, a wood post, stacked cut wood, a wood pallet and a wood boat, the termite station selected from the group consisting of a termite bait station and a termite monitoring station, the termite station contains a termite toxicant, and
• locating the termite station spaced between approximately 4 inches to approximately 6 feet from the in ground dispenser, wherein the termites in the wood are directed to the termite station by the solution of 2-PE and are killed by the termite toxicant.

A method for trailing and recruiting termites to a termite station containing termite toxicants, comprising the steps of:

• providing an above ground dispenser comprising a box with side slits, containing a solution of approximately 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE), dissolved in water, which releases the solution to a surface to attract termites;
• providing a termite station containing a termite toxicant, the termite station being selected from the group consisting of a termite bait station and a termite monitoring station;
• locating the termite station adjacent to wood having termites, the wood selected from the group consisting of a wood based house structure, a wood tree, a wood fence, a wood post, stacked cut wood, a wood pallet and a wood boat, the termite station selected from the group consisting of a termite bait station and a termite monitoring station;
• and
• locating the termite station between approximately 4 inches to approximately 6 feet to the above ground dispenser, wherein termites from the wood having termites are killed by the termite toxicant in the termite station.

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

• providing a plurality of termite stations, the termite stations selected from the group consisting of termite bait stations and termite monitoring stations, each termite station includes a termite toxicant;
• locating the termite stations between approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other, and surrounding a wood structure, the wood structure selected from the group consisting of a wood house, at least one wood tree, a wood fence, a wood post, stacked cut wood, at least one wood pallet, and at least one wood boat, each of the termite stations spaced at least approximately 18 inches up to approximately 10 feet outside the wood structure;
• and
• providing a solution of approximately 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE), dissolved in water;
• applying the solution to a soil surface to form a continuous trail connecting each of the termite stations;
• and
• forming, a closed loop perimeter around the wood structure with the continuous trail, wherein the continuous trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood structure and into one of the termite stations.
