The invention provides a method for controlling woods termites through poison baits. Termite poison baits are thrown in positions with termite mud roads or swarming holes or objects bitten by termites in termite activity areas. The termite poison baits comprise termite killing chemicals, poison carriers and bait devices. Chronic-effect chemicals or
insect growth regulators are adopted as the termite killing chemicals, and
ivermectin,
imidacloprid,
sulfluramid,
fipronil, hydramethylnon and
thiram are adopted as the chronic-effect chemicals;
fenoxycarb,
pyriproxyfen, chlorbenzuron, hexaflumuron, noviflumuron and
diflubenzuron are adopted as the
insect growth regulators; the bait devices are cylindrical so as to be inserted in soil or walls easily, gaps or holes are formed in the walls of the devices, the baits are contained in hollow positions of the bait devices, and openings, exposed out of the ground, of the bait devices are sealed with specially made covers. Through the method, termitaria do not need to be dug for tracking termites so that the field does not need to be damaged, the dosage is small, the working efficiency is high, and environmental
pollution is little. The method is easy and convenient to operate and remarkable in effect. Besides,
natural enemies such as
woodland toads, frogs, spiders, bats and birds of termites are protected, and harm caused by termites can be well controlled.
