Abstract
2-naphthalenemethanol [Chemical Abstracts registry no. 1592-38-7] produces a high degree of trail-following activity in termites. The attractant 2-naphthalenemethanol and certain derivatives increase bait acceptance by termites, improving the ability of termite baits to kill colonies, allowing lower amounts of toxicant to be used, or both.
