Methods Adding insecticides into plywood to prevent termite attack,and evaluating the effectiveness against Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki,trying to find out effective termiticide and its concentration used in plywood production.

This paper discusses the characteristics,degradation,persistence and bioavailability of main termiticides such as chlordane,mirex,chlorpyrifos,bifenthrin and imidacloprid according to relative published information to provides a theoretical basis for understanding and predicting the longevity or persistence of these termiticides to control termites.

Results: Fipronil 100 ppm concentration was effective in termite control.

The approach to termite control was designed on the consideration of avoiding over interference to the garden ecosystem and the treatments were achieved by using repellents including 0.

The termiticides often used include arsenicals, metal salts, inorganic acids, organochlorine compounds, organophosphates, carbamates, acylamines, silico alkanes, pyrethroids, heterocyclic compounds, insect growth regulators, natural biorational pesticides, and so on, especially the last three kinds of termicides may be have the greatest prospect.
