Evaluation of formic acid toxicity to subterranean termite, Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder

This study examined formic acid contact and fumigation toxicity to R. chinensis in the laboratory. In the contact toxicity bioassay, the LD50 values ranged from 267.86 to 287.68 μg adult-1 for workers, 279.09 μg adult-1<...
