ABSTRACT:
An in ground termiticide bait tube device for insect detection and control includes a first outer housing tube fixedly implanted into the ground and a second inner tube removably receivable within the outer housing. The inner tube contains bait for detecting and controlling termite activity, and can be inspected or replaced by removing the inner tube from the outer tube. The inner tube is mounted within the outer tube by rotation along a lead thread such that maximum relative rotation assures alignment of openings in the inner and outer tubes. The device further includes a flexible cap to provide tampering resistance when the inner and outer tubes are installed below ground. The cap is designed to cooperate with the outer tube to oppose rotational movement of the cap and inner tube in a direction resulting in the removal of the inner tube from the outer tube when the device is in an operational state. Support elements are provided to improve the alignment of the openings in the inner and outer tubes, and to increase structural support at the area of which the inner and outer tubes are rotated into engagement.
