白蟻誘引餌站之設計與效果評估
Studies on Design of Termites Bait Stations and Evaluation on Attracting Effect
摘要
白蟻主要以木質材料與纖維素材料作為食物來源，對於人類資產常造成極大的損失，國外害蟲防治業界為了對抗白蟻之危害，發展出許多形式之土壤型白蟻誘引餌站，然而卻存在許多缺點，如售價高昂、不易維護、結構脆弱等。為了設計研發適合台灣的白蟻誘引餌站，本研究參考市售餌站之結構與特性，集結國內防治業界之經驗，進行野地試驗以評估自製白蟻誘引餌站之誘引效果，結果顯示自製餌站的許多特性皆優於市售餌站。本研究使用台灣野外常見植物－月桃（Alpinia zerumbet），以其根部水萃物浸漬木塊，進行抗白蟻試驗，根據白蟻死亡率及餌木重量損失率得知，月桃根部水萃物具有成為天然白蟻防治藥劑之潛力。

Termites usually cause great harm to human assets; many types of termites bait stations have been developed to protect human life and property safety. However, there are many shortcomings in current in-ground termites bait stations. Our research has design and developing the in-ground bait station, improving many disadvantages of commercial bait station, and evaluated the attracting effect of lab-made termite bait station. The result has shown that the lab-made bait station own better termite attracting effect than commercial bait station. Experiment results also prove that wood samples soaked by water extracts of Alpinia zerumbet root has the excellent anti-termite effort from the test of weight loss rate of wood block and mortality rate of termite. A. zerumbet has the potential to develop for the natural environmental termite protective agents.
