“…Research into termite baiting re‐emerged at the end of the 1980s. Most research was laboratory based to identify the utility of various active ingredients as baiting active ingredients . There was other research into the food matrix that would contain the active ingredient, specifically a cellulose‐based bait that would interest only termites, and a bait station to house this food matrix .…”

Termite baiting is now one of the two main management tools in developed countries after 20 years of commercial release. It has two main goals: to use small amounts of active ingredient and 'colony elimination', i.e. death of all individuals in the colony. We consider how well baiting has been evaluated from 100 studies in the scientific literature. Studies have included 15 active ingredients, 23 termite species and 16 countries, yet most studies have focused on the chitin synthesis inhibitor hexaflumuron, Reticulitermes and the United States. Baiting has mostly met its goals: typically about 0.5 g of active ingredient was used, and colony elimination achieved, albeit with rates varying from 0 to 100%, and sometimes supplemented with liquid insecticide. Baiting was most successful using chitin synthesis inhibitors against Reticulitermes and Coptotermes (Rhinotermitidae), in temperate locations, although colony elimination was usually inferred indirectly - mostly by termite absence from baits - and was often slow, from 25 to 450 days. Baiting has been less tested and less successful against higher termites in tropical locations, where they are most diverse and abundant. Future research may have to consider greater termite species diversity and other active ingredients to reduce control times in order to fulfil the potential of baiting.

“…The development of radiotracer techni ues and their application in field termite control, there has recent1 been considerable effort made to develop biorational techniques using bait-l lock toxicants (BEARD 1974;ESENTHER and BEAL 1978;BEAL and ESENTHER 1980;PRESTWICH et al 1983). Because newer conttol techniques are designed to treat specific, individual colonies, it is important to understand the physical and social nature of the object of control, a single termite colony (HOWARD et al 1982).…”

AbstractGamma-emitting radionuclides, which have individually identifiable energy spectra, were used singly and in combination to label workers of the subterranean termite Retimlitmes fhvipes Kol. Isotopes offered in the food source were incorporated into workers and showed discernible spectra within three days, and all workers showed statistically identifiable label within 10 days.Labeled termites spread the nuclide to other colony members via trophallactic exchan es.(125.9 days). Social interactions appear to lengtien the biological half-lives of isotopes and increase the persistence of a label. All colonies showed a steady increase in the elimination of radioactivity with elimination rates ranging from 2.6 YO for 54Mn to 17 % for boCo. The low elimination rate for %Mn correlates with its long biological life.U.S.

Substitution of fluorine for hydrogen in essential sterols, juvenile hormones, and pheromones can lead to materials that interfere with insect growth, development, or communication, in novel and potentially useful ways. Examples have been drawn from work in these areas to illustrate (a) fluorocitrate generation via dealkylation of 29‐fluorophytosterols; (b) fluoroacetate release by β‐oxidation of fatty alcohols and acids; (c) inhibition of juvenile hormone esterase by trifluoromethyl ketones; (d) inhibition of antennal esterases that hydrolyse acetate pheromones; and (e) sensory disruption by acyl fluorides that mimic aldehyde pheromones.
