Abstract: Reticulitermes flavipes occurs frequently and distributes widely in the United States, mainly endangering wood and buildings. It successfully invaded France and other places via many transmission routes, and now widely distributes around the world. CLIMEX+GIS model was used to analyze and predict the potential distribution of Reticulitermes flavipes in China. The results showed that Reticulitermes flavipes had a wide distribution, mainly in centre and south China and with a wide high-potential region. China was rich in total timber resources but per capita was low. It was suggested that quarantine measures should be strengthened in the main timber producing areas in southwest and southeast China to strictly prevent the pest from entering China.
