Four treatments, Termidor, Demon, Sentricon and FirstLine were evaluated against field populations of Reticulitermes sp. in Valparaiso and Quillota, Chile. Seventeen months after treatments, termite activity at FirstLine sites remained the same, while those at Termidor and Demon sites declined significantly. No termite activity was found at Sentricon sites.
