Repellency of Formosan Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) to Dead Termites and Attraction to 2-Phenoxyethanol With and Without Nonrepellent Insecticides
The response of the Formosan subterranean termite to both dead termites and 2-phenoxyethanol with and without nonrepellent insecticide residues was examined using three commercially available pesticide formulations (acetamiprid, fipronil, and imidacloprid). Results indicated that significantly more search tunnels were constructed in the 2-phenoxyethanol-treated sand with three different insecti...
متن کاملToxicity and horizontal transfer of 0.5% fipronil dust against Formosan subterranean termites.
The toxicity and horizontal transfer of a new formulation of fipronil, 0.5% fipronil dust, was tested against Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki in the laboratory. The formulation was applied in three different ways: 1) Directly applied to termites (donors) and mixed with untreated termites (recipients) at three ratios, viz., 50 donors: 50 recipients, 20 donors: 80 recipients and 10 donors: 90 reci...
متن کاملPlant-derived natural products exhibiting activity against formosan subterranean termites (Coptotermes formosanus).
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is among the most devastating termite pests. Natural products derived from plant extracts were tested in a discovery programme for effective, environmentally friendly termite control agents. Among the natural products tested, vulgarone B (isolated from Artemisia douglasiana Besser), apiol (isolated from Ligusticum hultenii (Fern...
متن کاملToxicity of Thiamethoxam Against Philippine Subterranean Termites
Thiamethoxam (ACTARA 25WG) was evaluated for its termiticidal properties against three species of economically important subterranean termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) in the Philippines: Nasutitermes luzonicus Oshima, Macrotermes gilvus Hagen, and Microcerotermes losbanosensis Oshima. Results of the study indicated that exposure to soil or ingestion of paper treated with thiamethoxam at concentr...
متن کاملAntioxidant, Anticarcinogenic and Termiticidal Activities of Vetiver Oil
Vetiver oil (VO) was assayed for its antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and termiticidal properties. At the concentration of 10_l/ml, the DPPH radical scavenging effect of vetiver oil (93%) in antioxidant activity test was higher than that of 1mM BHT (73%) and equivalent to 1mM _-tocopherol (93%). At 100ppm in cancer cell lines, vetiver oil inhibited the growth up to 89% of SiHa cervical cells, 88% ...
