Thirty years after the commercial launching of the first bait product for subterranean termites: introduction
A symposium titled "Development and Application of Baits for Subterranean Termite Control in the Last Three Decades" was held from 25 to 30 August 2024, at the XXVII International Congress of Entomology in Kyoto, Japan. This event provided a platform to discuss the advancements in termite bait technologies across different regions over the past 30 years. This special collection features reports from symposium speakers, highlighting the effects of chitin synthesis inhibitor baits on termite colonies, the evolution of termite bait technology, impacts on the termite control industry in the United States and Southeast Asia, area-wide projects, and examples of innovations in bait technology.
