Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Pest control
Spanish term or phrase: testigos-cebos
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
Explanation:
"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").
