The invention encompasses a device for sensing living organisms. Such device comprises a loop of conductive material extending over a substrate, and an insulative protective material over the loop of conductive material. The device further comprises a circuit which includes the conductive material as a first circuit component and which further includes a transponder as a second circuit component. The transponder is configured to emit a first signal if the loop of conductive material is continuous, and a second signal if the loop of conductive material is broken. The invention also encompasses a device for sensing termites. Such device comprises at least two wooden blocks separated by a gap, and a loop of conductive material within the gap. The device further comprises an insulative protective material over the loop of conductive material. Additionally, the device, comprises a circuit which includes the conductive material as a first circuit component and which further includes a transponder as a second circuit component. The transponder is configured to emit a first signal if the loop of conductive material is continuous, and a second signal if the loop of conductive material is broken.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A device for sensing living organisms, comprising:a loop of conductive material extending over a substrate surface, the loop being configured to be broken by the living organisms;an insulative protective material over the loop of conductive material and on the substrate surface; anda circuit comprising the conductive material as a first circuit component and further comprising a transponder as a second circuit component, the transponder being configured to emit a first signal if the loop of conductive material is continuous and a second signal if the loop of conductive material is broken, the second signal being different than the first signal.
