Recent development in termite bait and baiting methodology: A mini review

Abstract

Abstract Termite baiting has evolved as a successful method of control globally. The methods hold significance as climate change, urbanization and international trade are spreading termites across the globe. The methodology uses minimal insecticide, precise application, and kills the colony compared to the soil treatment method. The subject is well reviewed, and the intent of this mini review is to provide updated information on some of the critical aspects of this technology, such as bait efficacy and criteria for evaluating colony elimination.
