1. A termite trailing and recruitment system, comprising:
a plurality of individual termite bait stations, the individual termite bait stations spaced approximately 10 to approximately 20 feet apart from each other, and surrounding a wood-containing structure, each of the individual termite bait stations contain termite toxicants; and
a solution consisting of approximately 0.1% to approximately 2% of 2 phenoxyethanol (2-PE), dissolved in water, applied to a soil surface to form a continuous trail connecting each of the individual termite bait stations to adjacent bait stations, forming a closed loop perimeter around the wood-containing structure, wherein each trail prevents termites from tunneling between the stations, and directs the termites away from the wood-containing structure and into one of the individual termite bait stations containing the termite toxicants.
