A system and method of monitoring and controlling cellulose-consuming pests in a predetermined location with existing wells formed in the ground, provides for the use of an assembly that has a main body with a transverse upper lip, a flexible resilient sealing member fitted underside the lip in a surrounding relationship to the main body, and tightening bolts extending through the lip and the sealing member. When torque is applied to the tightening bolts, the sealing member is then compressed, causing it to expand horizontally and engage the interior walls of the existing well by sealing same. The main body is configured to removably receive one or more bait unit therein. A cap covering an open top of the main body covers the bait units when the system is positioned in the well.

1. A pest control system for controlling cellulose-consuming pests in a pre-determined location, which is provided with existing wells formed in the ground, the pest control system comprising: a plurality of bait stations, each bait station configured for fitting inside an existing well and comprising: (a) a main body, having a tubular configuration with an open top and open bottom, said main body defining an interior chamber and an exterior surface;(b) a flexible resilient sealing member mounted in a surrounding relationship about the exterior surface of the main body;(c) a frame assembly secured to the main body and extending downwardly therefrom;(d) at least one cellulose-containing bait unit removably positioned in the interior chamber of said main body; and(e) a sealing means for sealing the bait station inside the existing well. 2. The pest control system of claim 1, wherein the main body is provided with a circular lip extending outwardly from the open top of the main body in a transverse relationship to a longitudinal axis of the main body. 3. The pest control system of claim 2, wherein the lip has an upper surface and an underside surface, and wherein an upper end of the sealing member urges against the underside surface. 4. The pest control system of claim 2, wherein a circular washer is positioned below the sealing member, and wherein exterior diameter of the washer substantially matches exterior diameter of the sealing member. 5. The pest control system of claim 1, wherein the frame assembly comprises a plurality of longitudinal rods extending downwardly from the main body and defining an inner elongated area configured to receive at least a portion of the at least one bait module therein. 6. The pest control system of claim 5, wherein a ventilation conduit is secured to one of the elongated rods, extending to the open top of the main body. 7. The pest control system of claim 6, wherein the ventilation conduit is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart openings. 8. The pest control system of claim 2, wherein the lip is provided with a plurality of through apertures, and wherein the sealing member is provided with an equal number of through openings aligned with the apertures of the lip. 9. The pest control system of claim 2, wherein the sealing means comprises a plurality of threaded tightening bolts, each tightening bolt extending through the lip aperture and through a corresponding opening in the sealing member. 10. The pest control system of claim 9, wherein each tightening bolt has a head and a lower end, and wherein each tightening bolt carries a securing nut at the lower end, such that application of torque to the head of the bolt causes compression of the sealing member and pressing of the sealing member against interior walls of the existing well, thereby sealing the bait station and the at least one bait unit inside the existing well. 11. The pest control system of claim 10, wherein the bait station comprises a cap configured to fit into and cover the open top of the main body. 12. The pest control system of claim 11, wherein the head of each tightening bolt extends above the sealing member in general horizontal alignment with the cap and the lip. 13. The pest control system of claim 11, wherein the head of each tightening bolt has an engagement slot of a pre-determined configuration allowing application of torque by a specialized tool. 14. A pest control system for controlling cellulose-consuming pests in a pre-determined location, which is provided with existing wells formed in the ground, the pest control system comprising: a plurality of bait stations, each bait station configured for fitting inside an existing well and comprising: (a) a main body, having a tubular configuration with an open top and open bottom, said main body defining an interior chamber and an exterior surface, the main body being provided with a circular lip extending outwardly from the open top of the main body in a transverse relationship to a longitudinal axis of the main body;(b) a flexible resilient sealing member mounted in a surrounding relationship about the exterior surface of the main body;(c) a frame assembly secured to the main body and extending downwardly therefrom;(d) at least one cellulose-containing bait unit removably positioned in the interior chamber of said main body; and(e) a sealing means for sealing the bait station inside the existing well;wherein the lip has an upper surface and an underside surface, and wherein an upper end of the sealing member urges against the underside surface. 15. The pest control system of claim 14, wherein the sealing means comprises a plurality of threaded tightening bolts, each tightening bolt extending through the lip aperture and through a corresponding opening in the sealing member. 16. The pest control system of claim 15, wherein each tightening bolt has a head and a lower end, and wherein each tightening bolt carries a securing nut at the lower end, such that application of torque to the head of the bolt causes compression of the sealing member and pressing of the sealing member against interior walls of the existing well, thereby sealing the bait station and the at least one bait unit inside the existing well. 17. The pest control system of claim 16, wherein the bait station comprises a cap configured to fit into and cover the open top of the main body, and wherein the head of each tightening bolt extends above the sealing member in general horizontal alignment with the cap and the lip. 18. The pest control system of claim 11, wherein the head of each tightening bolt has an engagement slot of a pre-determined configuration allowing application of torque by a specialized tool. 19. The pest control system of claim 14, wherein the frame assembly comprises a plurality of longitudinal rods extending downwardly from the main body and defining an inner elongated area configured to receive at least a portion of the at least one bait module therein. 20. The pest control system of claim 5, wherein a ventilation conduit is secured to one of the elongated rods, extending to the open top of the main body, said ventilation conduit being provided with a plurality of spaced-apart openings.
