Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Licensed pest management professionals treated 4 buildings with the termiticide imidacloprid. They used complete conventional treatments that included drilling and trenching. Independent monitors were established around these building > 1 year before the treatments and were used to asses the impact of the treatments on populations of Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus.
