The present invention, unlike the prior art, has universal surface applicability in that the same apparatus may be used on a variety of surfaces, whether on the floor, the ceiling, the wall, or another surface. Additionally, the present invention is demountably mountable such that the present invention is removably attachable, and not permanently fixed, to the surface suspected of harboring wood-destroying insects. Further, the present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting the presence of wood-destroying insects by utilizing the apparatus alone, or in conjunction with a plug inserted into the suspect surface. The present invention utilizes a self-wicking moisture retaining bait material consisting of a highly preferred wood-destroying insect food and in the preferred embodiment of the present invention the bait material is comprised of tightly rolled corrugated paper sprinkled with pulverized dried okra.
