Termites being very advanced social insects, are able to avoid any changes in their surroundings, yet some methods are there to lure them. If anyone has tested any method successfully, it would be useful to me.
Thank you for the resposne. I have tried all these. These are effective if they are placed near the mound. However, not an efficient lure to attract workers to a distant places.
I would also like somebody to throw light on the movement pattern of termite workers. I wonder, if an individual termite worker, foraging for the food, ever comes back to the mound. Or the fact that it hands over the material to other workers for the remaining job and thus remains always out of the mound/ colony?
Thanks Arne for a detailed comment. Would revert back to you after trying the way you have suggested.
