Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Lufenuron on the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2014
A laboratory study was conducted to understand the effect of low concentrations of lufenuron on termite physiology and behavior. Survivorship, running speed, body water content, food consumption, tunneling, microbial infection, and two behavioral patterns (carcass-burying behavior and particle transport behavior) were compared among Formosan ...

Temporal Assessment of Molting in Workers of Formosan Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2016
Molt frequency of workers in laboratory-reared juvenile colonies and foraging population from field colonies of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki was determined using planar arenas in laboratory. Given that, chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI)-incorporated baits disrupt the molting process of workers that comprises the major population of a termite colony ...

Effect of Orange Oil Extract on the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2007
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermesformosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), accidentally brought into the United States, has become a major urban pest, causing damage to structures and live trees. Because of increasing restrictions on the use of conventional termiticides, attention is focused on finding safer alternative methods for ...

Effects of Plant Flavonoids on Fecundity, Survival, and Feeding of the Formosan Subterranean Termite

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2003
Fecundity, mortality, and food consumption of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, were evaluated in response to five plant flavonoids (genistein, biochanin A, apigenin, quercetin, and glyceollin). Apigenin fed at 50 microg/primary reproductive pair proved to be the most toxic flavonoid.

Toxicity and Nonrepellency of Spinosad and Spinetoram on Formosan Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2016
Spinosyn products, spinosad and spinetoram, are widely used to control various agricultural pests. Spinosad has been tested on Kalotermitidae and Termitidae but not on Rhinotermitidae, the most destructive of termite families. In this study, we tested the effect of spinosad and spinetoram on Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki.

Foraging Phenology of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Louisiana

American Midland Naturalist, 1991
-A 2-yr field study was done to measure seasonal changes in feeding rates, number of workers, mass of individual workers and percentage of soldiers of foraging groups from colonies of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, living in cypress trees (Taxodium distichum [L.] Rich.) at the Calcasieu River near Lake Charles ...

Swarming of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Southern Mississippi

Midsouth Entomologist, 2010
Swarms of Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, (FST) in Southern Mississippi were monitored from mid-April through late June, 2007-2009. Distribution of swarming colonies was recorded at 69 traps within Poplarville (Pearl River County) and an additional 45-65 traps, along transects in Pearl River, Lamar, Forrest, and Stone ...
