چکیده
Kesan tiga bahan pengawet kayu dan kerentanan sepuluh spesies kayu keras telah diuji ke atas anaianai tanah, Coptotermes curvignathus (Holm.) di makmal. Kesemua bahan pengawet dapat melindungi kayu dari serangan anai.-anai dengan berkesan. Copper-chrome-arsenic (CCA) didapati lebih berkesan dari sodium pentachlorophenol (Na PCP) atau sodium tribomophenol (Na TBP). Ujian menunjukkan kayu keras Chengal dan Resak kurang dirosaki oleh anai-anai dan mengalami kehilangan berat kurang daripada satu peratus. Meranti merah muda, Jelutong dan Damar minyak dari kayu keras rengan adalah sangat dirosaki dan mengalami kehilangan berat lebih daripada sepuluh peratus.

Toxic 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...

Subterranean termite control accounted for 50% of the total business turnover of the Malaysian pest control industry in 2000, of which USS8-10 million were spent. About 70% of termite treatments were done on residential premises, 20% on industrial buildings and 10% on commercial buildings. The most important species are Coptotermes travians, C. curvignathus, C. havilandi C. kalshoveniand C. sep...

Historically most residential wood preservatives were aqueous soluble metal formulations, but recently metals ground to submicron size and dispersed in water to give particulate formulations have gained importance. In this study, the specific role nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) particle size and leach resistance plays in termite mortality resulting from exposure to particulate ZnO-treated wood was inves...

Dual choice bioassays were used to evaluate the antifeedant property of essential oil and methanolic extract of Alpinia galanga (L.) (locally known as lengkuas) against two species of termites, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) and Coptotermes curvignathus (Holmgren) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). A 4-cm-diameter paper disc treated with A. galanga essential oil and another treated with either methano...
