Ability of plant-derived oils to inhibit dampwood termite (Zootermopsis augusticollis) activity

The potential effects of plant derived oils on survival of dampwood termite (Zootermopsis augusticollis) workers was explored on western white pine sapwood blocks. All of the oils rapidly affected protozoa in the hindgut of termite workers and protozoa loss was closely followed by worker mortality....
