Device for monitoring and / or control the activity of termites and termite bait cartridge ".A termite bait station for installation in the ground includes a tubular outer housing (22) and a bait cartridge (24) inserted in the internal tubular housing (22).Each having apertures by elongated (36, 38) to allow the termites have access to the bait in the cartridge.Each slit (38) in the cartridge is arranged between a pair of parallel spaced ribs (42) which extends in the circumferential direction.The ribs (42) reduces the radial clearance which must be crossed by a termite that passes the outer housing (22) for the bait cartridge (24).The ribs (42) also form channels which extend ring to produce a channeling effect that tends to take the termites to the slits (38) in the cartridge.
