Interference competition in desert subterranean termites
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1991AbstractWe examined interspecific aggression between two subterranean termite species, Heterotermes aureus (Snyder) (Rhinotermitidae) and Gnathamitermes perplexus (Banks) (Termitidae). In laboratory tests with worker termites, neither species was the inherently superior fighter, but rather the outcome of interspecific encounters depended on the number ...

Development of Baits for Population Management of Subterranean Termites
Annual Review of Entomology, 2019The objective of bait application envisioned by early researchers was to eliminate the source of infestation, the colony, but because of the lack of adequate evaluation tools, results of field trials with mirex baits in the 1960s were mostly inconclusive.

A Fluid Bait for Remedial Control of Subterranean Termites
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2015A fluid bait, comprising α-cellulose and fine-ground phagostimulants (Summon Preferred Food Source) impregnated with 0.5% hexaflumuron (AI wt/wt) and mixed with 1% methylcel solution to yield 10% dry weight, was injected into simulated foraging galleries of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Reticulitermes virginicus (Banks) for a laboratory efficacy ...

Location of Food Sources by Subterranean Termites
Environmental Entomology, 1980Chihuahuan desert subterranean termites, Gnathamitermes tubiformans (Buckley) and Amitermes wheeleri (Desneux) readily located surface foods but failed to utilize buried foods of the same type. The termites attacked both natural cowdung pats and artificial(polyurethane) cowdung pats at the same rate as estimated by holes chewed through plastic film ...

SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE STUDIES IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO
The Canadian Entomologist, 1968AbstractA cooperative project between Forest Products Laboratories in the United States and Canada, initiated in 1966 to study the control effectiveness of an insecticide-treated termite attractant, is reported. It represents a bait method of control being developed to eradicate relatively large pockets of infestation.Wooden bait blocks decayed by ...

Aspects of Management of Subterranean Termites in Queensland
2020i ABSTRACT I investigated aspects of the management of subterranean termites in the field by evaluating the protective values of preservative treated softwoods and evaluating the potential of softwoods conditioned by decay fungi or heat to produce termite monitoring and aggregating devices.
