Reticulitermes urbis in Bagnacavallo (Ravenna, Northern Italy): a 15-year experience in termite control

Abstract

We relate and discuss the application of a monitoring-baiting program with the IGR hexafl umuron to termite control in Bagnacavallo (Ravenna, Northern Italy), where a massive Reticulitermes urbis infestation existed in the old town. Termite control was carried out in different zones over a period of 15 years, starting from the centre of the infested area and extending towards the peripheral areas. The treatment succeeded in eliminating termites from Bagnacavallo old town, using a total of 63 g of hexafl umuron
