Management of termite populations has become technology feasible with the introduction of non-repellent termiticides and bait technology. Previously, treatments with liquid termiticides may have provided some protection from termites and limited the damage caused by termite feeding. Unfortunately, these treatments failed to prevent the growth of populations of such invasive species as the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, which has established very large and extensive populations throughout the southern United States especially at places of original entry such as New Orleans. Bait technology and the non-repellent termiticides have helped limit the population expansion and even reduce the size of the populations as exemplified in the New Orleans French Quarter project. Education of the public, the Pest Management Industry and State Regulatory Agencies concerning these new control products as they affect the practice of termite control is necessary for full implementation of IPM. Development of efficient and reliable termite detection technology and methods with even further improvements in these termiticide technologies will increase the likelihood IPM success and its adoption by the industry and acceptance by the public.
