The control of termites is a major problem in the United                        States.  At present, the principal wood preservatives used                      are inorganic arsenic compounds, pentachlorophenol and                          creosote.  These agents are toxic, carcinogenic and                             environmentally hazardous.  Preliminary research has revealed                   that the heartwood and leaf of the junipers (Junipers) have                     high termiticidal activity.  The proposed research will use a                   biological assay to isolate the active termiticidal                             component(s) from extracts of the heartwood and leaves of J.                    ashei and J. virginiana, two species which are currently                        harvested for the production of cedarwood oil.  The                             termicitidal activity of the most active fractions will be                      compared to that of commercial termiticides.  The yields will                   be determined from whole trees in order to asses the economic                   feasibility of the procedure.                                                                                                                                   If successful, the research will lead to the preparation of a                   new, superior class of termiticides from and under-utilized                     plant.
