Evaluation of boric acid as a slow-acting toxicant against subterranean termites (Heterotermes and Odontotermes)
Various concentrations (100, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 ppm) of boric acid were tested in laboratory to check its potential as a slow-acting toxicant against subterranean termite, Heterotermes indicola (Rhinotermitidae: Isoptera). Under the tested concentrations, ELT 50 (Effective Lethal Dose to kill 50% of the exposed termites) values ranged from 2.7 to 5.4 days while ELT 90 were 4.5 and 9.1 da...
متن کاملEffect of tolerance to insecticides on substrate penetration by Formosan subterranean termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).
Seven selected insecticides were applied to three substrates and bioassayed for barrier efficacy and toxicity against the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, originating from colonies that differed in their tolerance to the insecticides. A profound substrate effect was seen with all insecticides tested. Sand was the most difficult substrate to penetrate and caused fas...
متن کاملRepellency 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 کاملToxic Effects of Three Selected Malaysian Timbers Plant Extracts against Subterranean Termites
The toxic effects of selected Malaysian timbers (Madhuca utilis, Anisoptera laevis and Endospermum malaccense) heartwood extracts were studied with the aim to determine and understanding the function of wood extracts as a natural protection against termite. The results show that no-choice experiments revealed toxic properties of all investigated extracts by the contact against Coptotermes gestr...
متن کاملAttraction of subterranean termites (Isoptera) to carbon dioxide.
Subterranean termites, Reticulitermes spp., were attracted to carbon dioxide (CO2) in laboratory and field tests. In behavioral bioassays, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), Reticulitermes tibialis Banks, and Reticulitermes virginicus Banks were attracted to CO2 concentrations between 5 and 50 mmol/mol. In further bioassays, R. tibialis and R. virginicus were attracted to the headspace from poly...
