Periodic sampling of 30 independent monitors, initially active with the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, was conducted to evaluate the effects of soil treated with imidacloprid on nearby termite activity. Monitors were located adjacent (1-3 m) to the buildings. Soil around and under the buildings was treated with 0.05% imidacloprid. None of the termites collected showed latent mortality attributed to imidacloprid intoxication. Imidacloprid soil treatments did not measurably reduce C. formosanus populations adjacent to the treatments. Imidacloprid does not seem to fit the liquid-bait model.
对30个独立监测器进行定期采样，这些监测器最初用于监测台湾乳白蚁（Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki），以评估用吡虫啉处理过的土壤对附近白蚁活动的影响。监测器位于建筑物附近（1 - 3米）。建筑物周围和下方的土壤用0.05%的吡虫啉进行了处理。所收集的白蚁均未表现出因吡虫啉中毒导致的潜伏性死亡。吡虫啉土壤处理并未显著减少处理区域附近的台湾乳白蚁种群数量。吡虫啉似乎不符合液体诱饵模型。
