ABSTRACT:
An in ground termiticide/bait tube 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 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, a metering cup removably received in the inner tube, and lugs on the metering cup to provide rotational movement of the metering cup and the inner tube relative to fixed outer tube.
