Abstract

The Exterra Termite Interception and Baiting System (Ensystex Inc., Fayetteville, NC) was evaluated in field experiments in Australia, Thailand and the Philippines. Cellulose-acetate powder containing chlorfluazuron (RequiemTM) was tested for its efficacy in eliminating colonies of various mound-building subterranean termite species. Using 0.05% and 0.1% weight/weight chlorfluazuron, there was no evidence of repellence and all colonies were eliminated. Colony elimination was confirmed by destructive sampling. Indicators used to monitor colony health were reliable. A suite of urban trials, demonstrating the effectiveness of Exterra Requiem Termite Bait in controlling a wide range of subterranean termite species, is also presented and discussed.
