Subterranean termites are among the most damaging termites in the world and represent a significant part of the $40 billion annual cost in damages caused by insects globally, said UF/IFAS entomology Professor Nan-Yao Su, who has been named as a UF Foundation Term Professor.
“Due to the cryptic nature of termites, it’s been quite challenging just to understand their behavior, but I think there remains fertile ground for innovative ways to control them,” Su said.
