Popis:	Several terpenoids and oils were screened for vapour toxicity and repellency against the termite, Odontotermes brunneus. In toxicity tests, knockdown time KT50 and KT90 values were derived at 5 mg/cm2. For repellency screening, a new experimental setup was designed and effective time ET50 and ET90 values were determined at 2 mg/cm2. Among the compounds screened, eucalyptus oil produced the fastest knockdown (KT50 24.8 min) while β-ionone was found to be the least effective (KT50 536.0 min). Terpeneol (anhydrous) afforded maximum persistence of 338.0 min, whereas the least persistence was obtained from linalool (78.9 min) which prevented 50% of the population from crossing over the treated barrier (ET50).
