Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring or controlling pests typically in an above-ground setting are provided, particularly those harmful social insects which live in colonies and communicate through chemical signals, such as termites. Included are a pest-edible matrix, a plurality of interchangeable housings, each defining an interior chamber capable of holding the matrix, means for removably connecting each of the housings to at least one other of the housings whereby the interior chambers are disposed in communication with each other through orifices defined in the housings, means for mounting at least one of the housings to a mounting surface proximate to the pests, whereby the housings may be detached from each other, rearranged, eliminated, supplemented, and reattached while the matrices are provided within an environment that has relatively restricted air movement and controlled moisture evaporation.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved etherification process that reduces the amount of acidic-ion-exchange-resin catalyst that is deactivated by nitriles. This process uses a water phase to remove nitriles from a hydrocarbon phase followed by an alcohol phase to remove the nitriles from the water phase. An hydrogenation catalyst is used to convert the nitriles to amines so that they can be more easily removed from the alcohol phase.
