Area-population control of fungus-growing termite, Odontotermes formosanus, using hexaflumuron durable baits.

This study demonstrated that durable hexaflumuron baits consumed by fungus-growing termites were further incorporated into fungus gardens, resulted in colony elimination and negative area-population effects, supporting that durable hexaflumuron baits are effective in suppressing field populations of fungus-growing termites. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
