A method for dyeing and marking termites

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for marking termites by staining. The method solves the problem in the prior art that a termite staining marking method can poison the termites and is short in staining time. The method for marking termites by staining comprises the following steps: (1) inserting a pinus massoniana wood block into an oven and drying for 48 hours, wherein the temperature of the oven is 50-80 DEG C; (2) inserting the dried pinus massoniana wood block into a container filled with a neutral red staining solution; (3) sealing the container with tinfoil; (4) after standing for 5 days, taking out the pinus massoniana wood block and inserting into the oven and drying for 72 hours; wherein the temperature of the oven is 50-80 DEG C; (5) taking out pinus massoniana wood block dried again and putting the block into a culture dish; wherein moist sand is paved on the bottom of the culture dish; the culture dish is dried for 48 hours under the condition of 60 DEG C; and the mesh number of the moist sand is greater than 60; and (6) putting the termites into the culture dish, and feeding the termites for 10-30 days with the pinus massoniana wood block in the step (5). According to the technique described above, the problem in the prior art can be easily solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of insect control, in particular to a method for dyeing and marking termites. Background technique [0002] Termites are very harmful insects. Studying the habits, growth and range of activities of termites is an important task for termite control and utilization of termite medicinal value. Traditional termite marking generally chooses fluorescent materials to spray paint; fluorescent materials contain film-containing substances, additives, colors and hydrocarbon solvents, etc. It is found during use that the film-forming substances and hydrocarbon solvents used in this way will have a toxic effect on termites and affect The growth of termites leads to the death of termites in stages, so that it is impossible to truly record the growth status and activity range of termites; and the process of fluorescent labeling is complicated, the equipment requirements are high, and the dyeing time is short, generally only about fo...

Traditional termite marking generally chooses fluorescent materials to spray paint; fluorescent materials contain film-containing substances, additives, colors and hydrocarbon solvents, etc. It is found during use that the film-forming substances and hydrocarbon solvents used in this way will have a toxic effect on termites and affect The growth of termites leads to the death of termites in stages, so that it is impossible to truly record the growth status and activity range of termites; and the process of fluorescent labeling is complicated, the equipment requirements are high, and the dyeing time is short, generally only about four months; such a batch of termites may require Only by dyeing for many times can we observe the growth status and activity range of termites for a long time
