Novel Acrylamide-Based Baits for Effective Control of Subterranean Termites (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Pest Management Science
Background: Acrylamide-based bait has super water absorption making it highly attractive to subterranean termites that are lured by wood with high water content. This study investigated the control efficiency of these baits on subterranean termites.

Hyperecdysonism in the Formosan Subterranean Termite and Eastern Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2017
Effects of ecdysone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), and an ecdysone agonist, halofenozide, were tested against the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), in a 12-d no choice assay. Approximately 22-26% of R. flavipes and C.

Hydroquinone Is Not A Phagostimulant For The Formosan Subterranean Termite

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2005
It has been suggested that hydroquinone found in the labial glands of a number of termite species acts as a primary phagostimulating factor. We tested hydroquinone as a phagostimulant using workers from three colonies of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, under both laboratory and field conditions. Hydroquinone at concentrations

Geophone Detection of Subterranean Termite and Ant Activity

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2006
A geophone system was used to monitor activity of subterranean termites and ants in a desert environment with low vibration noise. Examples of geophone signals were recorded from a colony of Rhytidoponera taurus (Forel), a colony of Camponotus denticulatus Kirby, and a termite colony (undetermined Drepanotermes sp.) under attack by ants from a nearby C.

Time Trends in Mortality for Thiamethoxam and Fipronil Against Formosan Subterranean Termites and Eastern Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2005
Time trends in mortality for the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), were determined for thiamethoxam and fipronil. Filter paper treated with 50 ppm thiamethoxam led to >80% mortality in 2-4 d for R.

Comparison of Eleven Soil Termiticides Against the Formosan Subterranean Termite and Eastern Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1990
Toxicities of 11 topically applied termiticides to the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) were determined. At LD50, deltamethrin was most toxic (0.12 and 0.01 μg/g for C. Formosan us and R.

Metabolism of chlorpyrifos-14C in the eastern subterranean termite

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1975
Termites treated topically with chlorpyrifos-C readily absorbed the material and metabolized it to chlorpyrifos oxygen analog. There also was evidence for some dechlorination of chlorpyrifos to 3-dechlorochlorpyrifos. Subsequent metabolism of chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos oxygen analog to water-soluble metabolites proceeded slowly.

Interference competition in desert subterranean termites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1991
AbstractWe 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 ...
