abstract

the use of wood preservatives is a suitable method to protect wooden products from termites attack. the effect of a glycol borate wood preservative and termiticide (available commercially as bora-care) alone and in combination with furfural were evaluated against m. diversus silvestri (isoptera: termitidae). the major termite pest in khouzestan province, iran in choice and no-choice tests. it was found that mortality and repellency increased with increasing concentration of glycol borate and also with increasing furfural concentrations. lc50 values in choice and no-choice trials increased for furfural as time increased and their toxicities decreased proportionally, but lc50 values decreased for the bora-care as time increased and their toxicities increased proportionally. lt50 values in choice and no-choice trials had an increasing trend as concentration decreased. in all tests, the glycol borate with furfural prevented feeding and treated cellulose substrate damage. the results suggest that bora-care alone and in combination with furfural could be recommendable as wood preservatives against m. diversus.
