Joel Tutein, left, and Nan-Yao Su examine a bait station, Thursday 1/18, used to monitor and control termites at the Christiansted National Historic Site in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Tutein, superintendent of the 250-year-old fort in Christiansted, said all attempts to control the pest at the popular tourist attraction failed until Su, a University of Florida entomologist, installed his new termite control system at the fort. Now, three years later, the fort is termite-free. Developed by Su, the system is licensed by UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences to DowAgroSciences in Indianapolis.
