• and
• reconfiguring the pest control device in response to said detecting, said reconfiguring including introducing a pesticide bait member into the pest control device and adjusting the position of the wireless communication circuit that remains assembled with the pest control device after said reconfiguring.

A pest control system, comprising:

• a housing;
• a monitoring bait member;
• a sensor;
• a wireless communication circuit;
• and
• a pesticide bait member;
• wherein the monitoring bait member, the sensor, and the wireless communication circuit are operable to be arranged in a first assembly to be positioned in the housing to detect one or more pests, and the pesticide bait member and the wireless communication circuit are operable to be arranged in a second assembly different than the first assembly, the second assembly being positioned in the housing in place of the first assembly after detection of the one or more pests with the first assembly.

A method, comprising:

• installing a pest control device including a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to a sensor;
• detecting the presence of one or more pests with the sensor;
• reconfiguring the pest control device in response to said detecting, said reconfiguring including introducing a pesticide bait member into the pest control device and adjusting the position of the wireless communication circuit;
• locating the pest control device after said reconfiguring with a hand held interrogator.
