CONTROL OF FORMOSAN SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE INFESTATIONS USING BAITS CONTAINING AN INSECT GROWTH REGULATOR

摘要

Baits containing an insect growth regulator, hexaflumuron, were used in the historic Presbytere and the Creole House of the Cabildo, in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, to control infestations of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. As with many historic structures in the French Quarter, these two landmarks have sustained chronic infestations by C. formosanus for the last three decades.
