Acquisition, transfer and metabolism of [¹⁴C] imidacloprid among workers of the subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

M. Tomalski and E.L. Vargo | Full Paper | 2005

Imidacloprid, the active ingredient in Premise®, is a slow-acting, non-repellent termiticide used to control termites in residential and commercial applications.
