Thiamethoxam (ACTARA 25WG) was evaluated for its termiticidal properties against three species of economically important subterranean termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) in the Philippines: Nasutitermes luzonicus Oshima, Macrotermes gilvus Hagen, and Microcerotermes losbanosensis Oshima. Results of the study indicated that exposure to soil or ingestion of paper treated with thiamethoxam at concentration above 0.41 ppm may provide an adequate chemical barrier or induce high mortality against N. luzonicus, M. gilvus and M. losbanosensis after 5-9 days. Feeding bioassays showed that thiamethoxam was not repellent to M. gilvus and M. losbanosensis but had an anti-feeding effect on N. luzonicus.
噻虫嗪(阿克泰 25WG)在菲律宾针对三种具有重要经济意义的地下白蚁(等翅目:白蚁科)的杀白蚁特性进行了评估:纳苏特白蚁(Oshima)、粗角鼻白蚁(Hagen)和洛班斯小鼻白蚁(Oshima)。研究结果表明,土壤暴露或摄入浓度高于 0.41ppm 的噻虫嗪处理过的纸张可能会提供足够的化学屏障或在 5-9 天后对 N. luzonicus、M. gilvus 和 M. losbanosensis 诱导高死亡率。取食生物测定表明,噻虫嗪对 M. gilvus 和 M. losbanosensis 没有驱避作用,但对 N. luzonicus 有抗取食作用。
