Abstract:
1. A subterranean termite monitor comprising: a thin bi-foldable elongated polymeric planar body, said body comprising a base with first and second ends, a wall and an opaque flap, said wall connecting said base to said flap for facilitating bi-folding of said body, said flap positionable substantially parallel to said base when said body is bi-folded, said base defining a feeding port, said base being connected to said wall at said first end, and said second end being free; a thick transparent wafer case, said wafer case positioned on said base, said wafer case having a length defined between first and second ends thereof which is less than a length of said flap and a length of said base respectively, said wafer case first end being adjacent said first end of said base, said wafer case second end being spaced from said second end of said base; a cellulose wafer, said cellulose wafer positioned atop said feeding port and within said wafer case, said wafer case separating said base from said flap along the sides of said wafer case when said body is bi-folded while said base and said flap extend beyond said wafer case; and a spike, said base defining a spike aperture extending therethrough, said spike receivable in said spike aperture for securing said monitor to a surface.
