Abstract Given the traditional use of wood, historical structures are susceptible to termite damage which can irreversibly affect their historical significance. Methods like drilling into the foundation for termiticide injection are impractical and potentially harmful to the structural integrity of these structures. Moreover, the location of these structures in ecologically sensitive areas prohibits the use of soil termiticides due to potential contamination of groundwater, rivers, or oceans. Termite Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies include baiting programs that use minimal quantities of benign insecticides to reduce environmental impact. This approach is consistent with the risk management component of termite IPM. Bait systems are proven to be effective in eliminating termite colonies, contributing to the benefit component of IPM by preserving the value of historical sites. This article discusses successful baiting interventions at notable locations such as the Statue of Liberty National Monument, New York, USA, the Christiansted National Historic Site in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, and the Historic Tzu-Su Temple in Taiwan.
