Abstract: A mounting and positioning device 10 comprises a disc 11 having a termite detection region in the form of a hole 12. The device entices termites to the detection region 12 using termite scaffold as an array of slats 13 made from a termite consumable material fitted around the hole 12 using an array of flanges 14 which frictionally grip the slats. Concentric frangible sections in the form of weakened rings 22, 23, 24 and 25 permit marginal sections of the device to be removed so that it may fit inside different sized termite monitors.

Abstract: A system (10) for remote detection of pests, in this case as applied to a domestic dwelling (11) where a base station (12) communicates with eight detector or monitor units (13). The dotted (lines (14) indicate wired or wireless communication between the units (13) and the base station (12). As used herein the expressions “monitor” and “detector” are used interchangeably or where the detector is used as part of a box or cartridge where the detector is part (and may be reusable and separable) the whole unit including the detector part may be referred to as a monitor.
