The nature of soil pernicious to Coptotermes formosanus
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1982Abstract The Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus , were incubated in soils collected from various locations on the island of Hawaii. More than 70% of the termites died within 2 weeks in seven of nine soil samples collected from Kamuela. In control soil termites remained alive after 4 weeks.

Molting in workers of the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2008The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, with its huge colonies, is a major urban pest in several southern states and Hawaii as well as in South Asia. Because of their cryptic nature (underground habitat) and very long life cycle, not much is known about molting in termite workers. In C.

Nootkatone Is a Repellent for Formosan Subterranean Termite (Coptotermes formosanus)
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2001We examined the behavior of Formosan subterranean termites toward one of the components of vetiver grass oil, the roots of which manufacture insect repellents. We found nootkatone, a sesquiterpene ketone, isolated from vetiver oil is a strong repellent and toxicant to Formosan subterranean termites.

Water Transport byCoptotermes formosanus(Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Environmental Entomology, 2014Subterranean termites are extremely vulnerable to desiccation, and high moisture makes their habitat and food favorable for survival and colony growth. Although there is a general perception that termites can manipulate moisture, documentation is surprisingly scanty with regard to how termites transport water and the factors that impact it.
