A model was developed to evaluate termite-fipronil
interactions and dynamic behavioral interactions between termites at colony level under the closest simulated natural habitat conditions, using functional colonies
and infrared videotaping technology. Fipronil residue in different castes collected from various post-treatment period were analyzed.
