Trials on the field control of the Formosan subterranean termite with Amdro® bait

, 1982
Amdro® - treated paper towels were introduced into two field colonies of the Formosan subterranean termite in Hawaii. At the concentration of 180 ppm, the toxicant bait was ineffective one month after the introduction.
