Abstract

BACKGROUND

Acrylamide-based bait has super water absorption making it highly attractive to subterranean termites that are lured by wood with high water content. This study investigated the control efficiency of these baits on subterranean termites. In particular, we evaluated the water-absorption capacity, attractiveness to subterranean termites, and control efficiency of these baits on subterranean termites through wooden blocks (Populus deltoides and three types of particleboards).

RESULTS

The results indicated a substantial water absorption capacity of acrylamide (70.6%; control: 14.8%) and a strong attraction for feeding subterranean termites (P. deltoides: 198 highest; 81 lowest subterranean termites individuals; combination of neem leaves and walnut shells: 168 highest; 36 lowest subterranean termites individuals). When acrylamide was combined with boric acid at the highest concentration, it resulted in the lowest wood consumption rates (P. deltoides: 24.1%; control: 63.8%, combination of neem leaves and walnut shells: 32.5%; control: 62.1%).

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, this research supports the commercial viability of employing innovative acrylamide-based toxic baits and particleboards for subterranean termite management. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

用于有效控制地下白蚁（Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae）的新型丙烯酰胺基毒饵。

背景：丙烯酰胺类毒饵具有超强的吸水性，因此对受到高含水量木材引诱的地下白蚁极具吸引力。本研究调查了这些毒饵对地下白蚁的控制效率。特别是，我们评估了这些毒饵的吸水能力、对地下白蚁的吸引力以及通过木块（白杨和三种刨花板）对地下白蚁的控制效率：结果表明，丙烯酰胺的吸水能力很强（70.6%；对照：14.8%），对觅食的地下白蚁有很强的吸引力（白杨：最高 198 只；最低 81 只）：楝树叶和核桃壳的组合：白蚁个体数最多为 198 个；最少为 81 个；白蚁个体数最多为 168 个；最少为 36 个）。当丙烯酰胺与最高浓度的硼酸结合使用时，木材消耗率最低（P. deltoides：结论：总之，这项研究支持使用创新的丙烯酰胺基有毒毒饵和刨花板来治理地下白蚁的商业可行性。© 2024 化学工业协会。
