I don't understand why everyone thinks the original poster should give it back. The OP purchased the house and that was part of the house. Unless the seller had him sign an agreement for the traps at the closing the purchaser paid for the traps as part of the purchasing the house. It sounds like to me the seller should be liable since he had the contract for the traps and got the benefit from selling the house including the traps.

It was not owned by the previous seller and the seller probably forgot about it
Can they just put a lien on my property based on having a contract with the last owner?
Just let them take it, sentricon is expensive takes 12-24 months to eliminate the colony. Get Taurus SC lasts 8-10 years its cheap you have to dig a little no biggie.

That system is illegal in New York
Sentricon has been in ground already and is paid for...
my legal question remains, can they put a lean on my house?

The traps are not your property. It's their property on your property. The previous owner did not own them and had a contract with the exterminator. It is your duty to return it back to them or tell them to go after the previous owner.
You can wait and see if they put a lien or take you to court for not returning their property. Either way, you won't win.
There are other ways of getting termite pesticide and doing the treatment yourself which will save you thousands of dollars. You can buy your own bait on Amazon or Home Depot
If you want the bait system, I suggest you go in contract with them and negotiate to remove the "initial fee" since the bait systems are already in your land.

OP did I miss the post where you stated that a contract has been provided that shows they own the traps? I don't think so although some posters are assuming that. Wait till you have written proof of what they are alleging then contact an attorney to proper clarification of what right they hold under that contract.
All the rest on here is speculation until then save the nuclear option till you speak with a lawyer.
