Abstract |
|
|
A termite baiting system was evaluated in field experiments in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Philippines. Alpha-cellulose powder containing chlorfluazuron (Requiem™) was tested for its efficacy in eliminating colonies of subterranean termites in landscape and orchard trees. Traditional methods are frequently not suitable due to difficulties in creating a soil barrier system. Using 0.1% weight/weight chlorfluazuron there was no evidence of repellence and all colonies were eliminated. |
