Pest control
Hard to find a Proz category to put this one in! It comes from a booklet on pest control in homes, in the section on termites:
CONTEXT: "Existen tres tipos de tratamientos y prevención:
· Barreras químicas de defensa
· Tratamiento curativo y preventivo de la madera estructural.
· Sistema de ***testigos-cebos***.
Las barreras químicas y el tratamiento de la madera estructural, con una efectividad inmediata, protegen el edificio del ataque de las termitas."
There is no further context.

baiting and monitoring system
"Testigos" are blocks or pieces of wood, known in English as "monitors", which are placed inside devices (known as "monitor[ing] stations") and used to detect and prove that termites are present in a given area. Once their presence has been confirmed, the monitors are replaced with bait (in "bait[ing] stations").
