The efficacy of Altriset® 20SC (AI, chlorantraniliprole) in controlling structural infestations of the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes, was assessed in Ohio, North Carolina, and Texas. Prior to chlorantraniliprole treatment, termites were collected from the structure as well as...
The cryptic nature of native subterranean termites,Reticulitermes spp., has posed a serious problem for researchers desiring to study their biology and ecology. The nature of a colony and the parameters that define a subterranean colony have been the topic of recent debate. Some researchers have con...
We investigated predictive correlations between temperature, precipitation, and springtime subterranean termite swarming in nine Texas cities. Heat units were calculated from December 21 through the date of the initial spring swarms during 1994-1999. Analysis of the heat unit data showed that none o...
Commercially available termite-baiting systems were evaluated for efficacy in a management program for Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. Termite-baiting systems evaluated include Sentricon® (Dow AgroSciences), with hexaflumuron, FirstLine® (FMC Corp.), and Terminate® (U...
The development of termite baits has demanded effective means of evaluating the success of commercial bait systems. Evaluation has been complicated by unknown factors concerning subterranean termite biology and foraging as well as a lack of definitive research methods. One important element of effec...
