Embodiment 1

[0020] The plant essential oils citronella oil, cinnamon oil, wintergreen oil, sage perilla oil and chili oil (produced by Guangzhou Damo Chemical Reagent Factory) were used to conduct repellent behavior tests. The detailed test methods are as follows:

[0021] The test adopts the Y-shaped tube method (Y-shaped olfactory test), and the two ends of the Y-shaped bifurcation are ventilated with an air pump for 15 minutes in advance, so that the gas passes through two groups of round-bottomed flasks and then enters the unforked end of the Y-shaped tube. There are three round bottom flasks in each group. The first two round bottom flasks of each group were filled with activated carbon and distilled water, respectively. The round bottom flasks and the Y-shaped tubes are connected with plastic tubes. After 15 minutes, use a pipette gun to drop 100 μL of n-hexane (as a control) and essential oil test solution (diluted to 0.1 μL / mL with n-hexane) on two filter paper strips respectivel...

Embodiment 2

[0027] Seven kinds of essential oils and their products were taken: claret oil, chili oil, peppermint oil, peppermint oil, cedarwood oil, pine needle oil (produced by Guangzhou Damo Chemical Reagent Factory) and Fengyoujing (produced by Singapore Liang Jiefu Pharmaceutical Pte. Ltd.) , were diluted to 10 with n-hexane -6 μl / ml for later use. The test was carried out at 10: 00-15: 00. During the test, 100 μl of essential oil solution or n-hexane (control, represented by CK) was added to the center of the filter paper with a pipette. After 5 seconds, the filter paper was randomly placed on the border of the ant nest. At 15cm, ensure that the treatment and control filter papers are in a straight line with the center of the ant nest, and then put ham sausage with a mass of about 0.5g. The search time of red imported imported imported imported imported imported imported imported imported imported fire ants for various foods and the recruitment of worker ants at different times aft...

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of plant essential oil serving as a red imported fire ant repellent. The plant essential oil disclosed by the invention is citronella oil, cinnamon oil, wintergreen oil, clary sage oil, cedar oil, pine needle oil or pepper oil, and researches show that the plant essential oil can effectively interfere choice behaviour of red imported fire ant so as to achieve a prevention effect. The plant essential oil comes from conventional plant varieties, raw materials are easily available in practical production and are edible or essence raw materials and are harmless to a human body, and the repellent has a wide application prospect in the agricultural technical fields of quarantine inspection and prevention and control on the red imported fire ant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quarantine and prevention of red imported fire ants and other pests, in particular to a red imported imported fire ant repellant. Background technique [0002] RIFA ( Solenopsis invicta Buren) is native to the Parana River Basin of Brazil and Argentina in South America, belongs to the Formicidae Hymenoptera, is one of the 100 most important invasive organisms in the world, and poses a serious threat to the agricultural ecological environment and public safety. Due to the serious occurrence of RIFA in southern my country and the many ways of spreading and spreading, it has brought great obstacles to the control of RIFA in my country. At present, in the Pearl River Delta region, many high-density urban areas and residential buildings may be attacked by RIFAs. The existing control schemes for RIFAs are mainly to trap and kill them with poisons, such as fipronil, methamphetamine, rotenone, and multi-bacteri...
