Abstract

Entomology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
A description of termite biology, distribution and diversity, economic importance, and sustainable management is presented. Liquid termiticide injection to soil, to establish a toxic or repellent chemical barrier against termites, is a traditional method applied for control. Baiting programs have been used successfully to eliminate subterranean termite colonies. Biological approaches along with entomophagy are also effective to manage termite population.
