The botanicals used are Eupatorium odoratum, Lycopersicon esculentum, Gongronema latifolium leaves and Citrus sinesis epicarp with ethanol and water as the extracting medium. After 2 hours of application of treatments, Eupartorium odoratum leaves had the highest mortality followed by Citrus epicarp at 5 % level of application table 1. After 6 hours of application, Eupartorium odoratium leaves still recorded the highest level of mortality. The results of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the botanical treated books against the termites indicate that at 25% concentration the rate of destruction by the termites for the paper treated ethanolic extract ranged from 5.53 ± 0.15d (Eupatorium odoratum) – 13.47 ± 0.06a (Lycpersicon esculentum) while that of aqueous extract ranged from 8.73 ± 0.06d in Eupartorium odoratum - 16.33 ± 0.15a (Lycpersicon esculentum) tables 3 and 4. In all the concentrations Eupartorium odoratium with least significant difference showed more potency followed by Citrus epicarp while Lycopersicon esculentum with highest significance difference in all concentrations showed least potency. It is evident from these results that extracts did pose a hindrance to activities of the termites. That efficacy of bio-pesticides was also shown to increase with increased rate of application time and period of exposure to the target pests.

The fourth is to protection the use of the autonomy of the parties' right to an extremely large choice of law. Thus, many improvements need to be done to make the formation of international contracts in a better shape.
