Among several factors leading to biodegradation of wood, termites are one of the most damaging agents to wooden structures worldwide. To avoid environmental pollution and health problems caused by the use of synthetic pesticides, wood preservation research is currently focusing on discovery and application of termiticides derived from plants. This paper reports and discusses the use of coconut shell oil (CSO) as a potential termiticide. Termiticidal activity of CSO was assessed and compared to wood preservatives currently in use. After 18 months of field trial, all the control stakes were destroyed completely and there was damage of 34.2 % in the CSO brush coated stakes. CSO is a promising new biodegradable compound which can be utilized for the development of a termiticide of biological origin.
