Abstract:

Antitermitic activities of seed extract/oils were evaluated using termites mortality, repellency and reduction in tunnel length as endpoint of extract/oil toxicities. Seed extract and oil diluted in acetone for applying on filter paper or mixing with soil proved best and yielded maximum mortality and repelled maximum number of termites and shortest tunnels were made by termites` workers. Use of oil / extract as termiticide has been discussed.
