Semiochemicals Gain Momentum as Efficacious IPM Strategy in Termite Control

Advancements in strategies of integrated pest management (IPM) have observed significant escalations, upheld particularly by contribution of chemical ecology. Public demand and environmental concerns associated with use of toxic pesticides and insecticides for managements of pests, such as termites, have led to development of sustainable alternatives such as “semiochemicals” – a novel discovery of chemical ecology. Semiochemicals currently seek extensive adoption in pest management as sex pheromones, thereby attracting more and more termite control services providers to inculcate the technique. Relative specificity, low toxicity and greater potency of semiochemicals are key attributes that have proliferated their demand in termite control services, as eco-friendly alternatives to pesticides and insecticides. Currently, semiochemicals-based termite control services are offered as pheromone lures and traps for monitoring reasons, meanwhile being leveraged for the development of mating disruption techniques.
