Effect of copperised (II) neem leaves extractives on wood destroying termites

Results revealed that copper-methanol neem leaves extract complex and copper-hot water neem leaves extract complex both were found effective against termites (Odentotermes obesus Rambur) for softwood (Pinus roxburghii sargent) but were not effective against hardwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex. Marsh).
