Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of termite trapping and killing, and in particular to a termite attractant and a termite trapping and killing method. Background Art

[0002] The existing methods of trapping and killing termites include nest digging, light induction, powder spraying, spreading or spraying. However, nest digging is difficult, requires high technical requirements, and causes damage to ancient trees. When using the light trapping method, the black light is set above the tree, and a puddle of a certain size is dug at the vertical position of the black light, and a certain amount of insecticide powder is added. This method has limitations, and the trapping and killing is not thorough. The main termites killed are long-winged, flying termites.

[0003] The powder spraying method, which uses physical contact between termites to transmit information, has limitations and is not thorough in trapping and killing. The spreading method mainly uses granular chlorpyrifos (poisonous pesticide) and chlordane (highly toxic pesticide) to dig trenches or spread around ancient trees. This method has great limitations and can only kill termites that have come into contact with the drug, but cannot cause termites to carry the poison and spread it. In addition, chlorpyrifos is highly toxic and has a long residual time in the soil. Using it at water sources poses a safety hazard of polluting water sources and groundwater. The traditional spraying method is to destroy the termite trails to expose the termites and then directly spray the drug for prevention and control. This method has a single prevention and control effect and is only effective for termites that have come into contact with the drug, and cannot kill other termites. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an environmentally friendly and green termite trapping and killing method. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a termite attractant and a termite killing method. The present invention provides a termite attractant. The raw materials and proportions of the termite attractant are as follows: Honey, 20 parts; sex attractant 30 parts; sugar 30 parts; cellulose 10 parts, sodium benzoate 1 part, aspartame 2 parts, acesulfame potassium 2 parts, ethyl maltol 5 parts.

[0005] Preferably, the raw materials of the termite attractant are mixed and stirred evenly according to a proportion to prepare the termite attractant.

[0006] The present application provides a method for trapping and killing termites. The steps of the method for trapping and killing termites are as follows: Step 1: Use PVC material to make a hollow rectangular trap box; Step 2: Cut the wood that termites like to eat, such as fir or pine, into blocks and soak them in termite attractant solution for 24 hours, then dry them in the sun and store them in a cool and dry place; Step three, bury the attractant box. Dig a hole big enough to accommodate the attractant box on the ant path 10-20cm away from the tree body of the ancient and famous tree. Pour termite attractant liquid into the hole, and then put the soaked attractant wood blocks into the attractant box. Cover the top of the attractant box with black plastic sheeting and then cover with soil. Set up a sign at the location where the attractant box is buried to make the location clear.

[0007] Step 4: Check and kill the bait box: 25 days after burying the bait box, dig up the soil on the top of the bait box, take out the bait blocks one by one for inspection, use a copper powder spray tube to load the pesticide clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and adjuvant mixed in proportion to make powder, and spray it directly on the termites.

[0008] Preferably, in step one, a hollow hole is provided on the surface of the trapping box, and the size of the hollow hole is larger than the size of the bait wood block.

[0009] Preferably, in step 4, when the bait wood block is taken out, the position of the bait box remains unchanged.

[0010] Preferably, the medicine powder in step 4 comprises 10% clothianidin, 70% imidacloprid and 10% thiamethoxam in a mass ratio of 1:1:1.

[0011] Therefore, the present application provides a termite attractant and a termite killing method, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The formula is specially made according to the habits of termites. It has the characteristics of high sweetness, strong attraction and strong taste penetration, which can keep termites in the attractant box after searching. The number of termites attracted is more than 1 times that of other methods, which greatly increases the base number of poisonous termites, thereby increasing the probability of killing the entire nest of termites. In addition, the agent is added with the preservative sodium benzoate, which greatly increases its validity period. The attractant can be stored for up to 12 months after production.

[0012] 2. It takes advantage of the habit of termites to lick each other to clean their bodies, so that the lured termites can spread the poison to the queen ant, causing the ant nest to lose its reproductive and transmission capabilities, thereby destroying the entire ant nest. At the same time, the attractant is a green attractant, which reduces soil pollution. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated by the following examples.

[0015] Example 1 The formula of termite attractant is: honey, 20 parts; sex attractant 30 parts; brown sugar 30 parts; cellulose 10 parts, sodium benzoate 1 part, aspartame 2 parts, acesulfame potassium 2 parts, ethyl maltol 5 parts.

[0016] Comparative Example 1 Honey, 20 parts; Sexual attractant 30 parts; Brown sugar 34 parts; Cellulose 10 parts, Sodium benzoate 1 part, Ethyl maltol, 5 parts.

[0017] Comparative Example 2 Honey, 34 parts; Sexual attractant 30 parts; Brown sugar 20 parts; Cellulose 10 parts, Sodium benzoate 1 part, Ethyl maltol, 5 parts.

[0018] Comparative Example 3 Honey, 14 parts; Sexual attractant 30 parts; Brown sugar 40 parts; Cellulose 10 parts, Sodium benzoate 1 part, Ethyl maltol, 5 parts.

[0019] According to the formula of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, the raw materials of each formula were mixed as experimental groups. Example 1 was recorded as experimental group 1, Comparative Example 1 was recorded as experimental group 2, Comparative Example 2 was recorded as experimental group 3, and Comparative Example 3 was recorded as experimental group 4. Then, an induction experiment was carried out on termites. The experimental process is as follows: 1. In a transparent plastic box, divide it into two parts. One part contains the formulas of experimental group 1 / experimental group 2 / experimental group 3 / experimental group 4, and the other part contains 14 portions of honey as a control group.

[0020] 2. Place 100 termites in the middle of the box.

[0021] 3. Place moistened filter paper in each area to maintain humidity.

[0022] 4. Record the number of termites in the two areas every hour for 24 hours.

[0023] 5. Organize the data, conduct statistical analysis, and determine the effectiveness of each experimental group in attracting termites.

[0024] The data obtained are as follows:

[0025] Example 2 The method of attracting termites is as follows: Step 1, preparing an attractant box; using PVC material to make a hollow rectangular trapping box; Step 2: Use fir and pine wood, which termites like to eat, as bait wood blocks, cut them into blocks and soak them in termite attractant liquid for 24 hours, then dry them and store them in a cool and dry place; Step 3: Bury the bait box. According to experience, look for traces of termite damage or ant trails on the trunk of ancient trees and famous trees, dig a pit of the size that can accommodate the bait box at a distance of 10-20 cm from the trunk of the ancient trees and famous trees, pour termite attractant liquid into the pit, and then put the soaked bait wood blocks into the bait box. Cover the top of the bait box with black plastic cloth and then cover it with soil; set up a sign at the location where the bait box is buried to make the location clear. Step 4: Check and kill the bait box: 25 days after burying the bait box, dig up the soil on the top of the bait box, take out the bait wood blocks one by one (the PVC bait box does not move) for inspection, use a copper powder spraying tube to take the pest control agent 10% clothianidin, 70% imidacloprid, 10% thiamethoxam mixed in a ratio of 1:1:1 (the powder is slowly toxic and will not directly kill the termites that come into contact with the powder, so that the poisoned termites have enough time to bring the powder back to the ant nest to spread to other termites), and spray it directly on the termites. Spray the termites on each piece of wood in place, and try to make the termites in the bait box carry the poison, then put the termites and wood blocks with the powder back into the bait box, cover the top with black plastic cloth and then cover with soil. Termites with the powder on their bodies will become poison tools, and after returning to the nest, they will spread to other termites and queen ants, thus causing the ant nest to die. The bait box needs to be registered and recorded after the medicine is placed, and the time and location must be clearly stated to facilitate later review.

[0026] 25 days after the last inspection and spraying of termites, re-inspect the tree body, root area and inside the attractant box of the ancient and famous trees where the termites were sprayed last time. If no signs of termite damage, ant trails or living termites are found, the extermination is considered successful.

[0027] Therefore, the present application provides a termite attractant and a method for trapping and killing termites. The materials used in the attractant box are all green and environmentally friendly materials, which are pollution-free and harmless to the environment. The drugs used are all low-toxic drugs, which are safe for humans, animals and the environment. The habit of termites to lick each other to clean their bodies is fully utilized, so that the lured termites can carry the poison and transmit it to the queen ant, causing the ant nest to lose its reproductive and transmission ability, thereby achieving the destruction of the entire ant nest.
