Summary:An apparatus (10) for detecting and controlling subterranean termites. A station (10) at least partially receivable within a cavity has at least one opening (37) therein to provide access by the termites to an interior volume of the station. The apparatus also includes an aggregation base (22) attractive to the termites received within the interior volume of the station. The aggregation base (22) includes at least one void for forming an aggregation site for the termites. The apparatus further includes a replaceable container (24) received within the interior volume of the station and positioned adjacent the aggregation base (22). The container (24) has at least one opening in a surface thereof facing the aggregation base (22) to permit the passage of termites from the aggregation base (22) to an interior chamber of the container (24). The container is sized and shaped such that the container may be removed from the station with minimal disturbance to the aggregation base, thereby preserving any aggregation site formed by the termites within the void of the aggregation base.
