Solenopsis invicta pheromone attractant and killing agent containing same

Abstract

The invention discloses a solenopsis invicta pheromone attractant and killing agent containing same, and relates to the technical field of pest control. The pheromone attractant is prepared from the following raw materials: 1 to 15 parts of linoleic acid, 1 to 15 parts of linolenic acid, 1 to 15 parts of arachidonic acid, 1 to 20 parts of omega-3 fatty acid, 1 to 15 parts of oleic acid, 1 to 10 parts of acetic acid, 1 to 15 parts of fatty glyceride, 1 to 15 parts of acetate, 1 to 15 parts of mannitol, 1 to 12 parts of sorbitol, 1 to 15 parts of butylene glycol, 1 to 15 parts of pinoresinol, 1 to 15 parts of dihydrocarveol, 1 to 15 parts of terpin, 1 to 50 parts of ethanol, and 1-20 parts of myrtenol. The killing agent further comprises a non-metal oxide and / or at least one of bacteria, fungi and insect protozoon. The solenopsis invicta pheromone attractant has the effects of solenopsis invicta food calling pheromone and solenopsis invicta tracing pheromone at the same time, the feeding amount of solenopsis invicta to the attractant is remarkably increased, the trapping and killing effect of the solenopsis invicta attractant is improved, and meanwhile the solenopsis invicta attractant has extremely high sensitivity and high specificity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pest control, in particular to a red fire ants pheromone attractant and a killing agent containing the attractant. Background technique [0002] RIFA belongs to Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Leafcutter Subfamily, and Fire Ant genus. It is native to South America. The Latin name of RIFA is "Invincible" ant. It is a quarantine pest in the world and is difficult to control. It invaded my country in 2004 and has spread to 12 provinces and 435 counties and cities in my country. In particular, in the past five years, 191 county-level administrative districts with RIFA have occurred, which is double the number in 2016. [0003] Red fire ants have obvious aggressiveness and the ability to sting repeatedly to humans and animals. It affects the health and quality of life of the invaders, has serious impacts on agriculture, livestock, wildlife, and natural ecosystems, and damages electronic equipment in public facilitie...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] These control methods all have certain shortcomings, such as adopting physical methods and ant nest irrigation will disturb the red fire ants, prompting them to build new nests and produce new hazards; ant nest irrigation and poison bait trapping will produce environmental pollution; such as the application number 201810366153.6, the patent titled "Pest control formulations and methods of making and using them", although the patent discloses the use of "linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, isomenthone, pinene and ethanol", etc., However, according to the inventor's test, the effect of killing red fire ants needs to be improved. The application number is 201880068239.9 and the invention name is "active compound combination with insecticidal-caricidal properties". This patent discloses the use of "terpinene ", but only using terpinene has almost no killing effect. The application number is 201510104993.1, and the patent name of the invention is "Application of a sweetener in the control of ant pests". This patent discloses the use of "erythritol ", which is used as a sweetener

[0006] The existing methods of trapping and killing with poisonous baits generally have the problem that the raw material formula of the RIFA attractant is unreasonable, the RIFA will not be actively eaten by the RIFA, the lure effect is not good, and the pheromone extracted from the RIFA itself keeps the lure for a short time.
