Abstract
Underground termites of the Reticulitermes genus are found in buildings in several urban areas in France.
Recently these insects have begun to attack trees in Paris.
This paper describes a joint effort to control this problem by the Paris City Council, the CNRS, and the DowElanco Company.
A technique was successfully developed and used to exterminate termites and protect urban trees which constitute a precious part of the Parisian heritage.
The technique is completely safe for the population and the environment.
