The invention provides positively charged super-hydrophobic
powder for preventing and treating termites as well as a preparation method and application of the positively charged super-hydrophobic
powder, and belongs to the technical field of
pesticide formulation
processing. The positively charged super-hydrophobic
powder takes super-hydrophobic
silicon dioxide as a carrier, and other raw materials comprise a medicament and a functional additive. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving the medicament and the functional additive in
acetone, spraying on the super-hydrophobic
silicon dioxide, uniformly stirring, and crushing to obtain the super-hydrophobic powder with positive charges. According to the prepared super-hydrophobic powder, the lasting period can be prolonged, the
drug use frequency and the
drug use amount are reduced, and
pollution to water and soil is reduced. Positive charges generated by mutual friction between powder particles and negative charges of termite body walls attract each other, so that the
adhesive force and the
distribution uniformity of the powder are improved. The powder is low in
toxicity, long in poisoning time after being contacted with termites and beneficial for the termites to carry the medicament to return to nests, and
nest cleaning is achieved. And the application method is simple and efficient, the targeting property is strong, the
toxicity to other organisms and human bodies is lower, and the safety is higher.
