The dam termite trapping and killing bag provided by the invention does not contain carcinogenic components, is safe to people and livestock, pollution-free and very convenient to use, and can be used for attracting the termites within a 80-100m<2> area for eating, so that the termite killing effect is very remarkable.

The invention provides a termite poison attractant bait and relates to a termite attractant. The termite poison attractant bait is characterized by comprising the following components in percentage by weight: (1), 60-80% of mixture of cedar bark powder, sugarcane bagasse and maple powder; (2) 5-15% of sugars; (3) 10-20% of flour; (4) 1-4% of additives; and (5) 1-4% of special termite prevention and control agents. The termite poison attractant bait has the advantages of strong attraction to termite, high feeding rate, capability of greatly shortening termite killing and control cycle to 3-4 days generally, high termite killing rate, capability of reducing labor intensity; in addition, the termite poison attractant bait is convenient to prepare and use, has low cost, is safe and environmentally-friendly, and the materials of the termite poison attractant bait are easy to obtain. Through repeated test, the termite poison attractant bait has high killing success rate of more than 95% for Macrotermes barneyi Light and Odontotermes formosanus and can be massively applied to places in which termites need to be killed.

The invention relates to a reticulitermes-flavipes indoor intensive breeding method. Sterile vermiculite is placed in holes of a six-hole cell culture plate in a cushioning mode and drenched, and bait which is deep fermented three times is used for building a slope on the vermiculite and is compacted. Before reticulitermes flavipes swarms, withered stumps containing winged-reticulitermes-flavipes nests are fetched back, placed in storage boxes, and kept in a 16-DEG-C indoor dark condition until the reticulitermes flavipes grows and develops to be in a swarming state; swarming is facilitated by people, the reticulitermes flavipes is collected through a nylon net, and the male reticulitermes flavipes and the female reticulitermes flavipes are identified; a pair of reticulitermes flavipes paired successfully is placed in the hole with the corresponding number, and a plate cover is placed on the corresponding hole. The situations that the reticulitermes flavipes with wings falling off gets into soil and builds nests are observed until all the reticulitermes flavipes with the wings falling off gets into the soil and builds the nests, water is added to the vermiculite, the culture plate is placed in a culture room, and breeding is carried out for 7.5 months. By the adoption of the reticulitermes-flavipes indoor intensive breeding method, the nest-building success rate can reach 95%, 7-17 worker ants are bred in each nest, a soldier ant appears in 62.5% of the nests, and the nests with complete functions are formed; operation is simple, high-density intensive breeding can be carried out, the success rate is high, and resources are provided for research, prevention and treatment of the reticulitermes flavipes.

The invention relates to a termite trapping and killing method using poison bait. The material of attractant comprises: Keyixing 100g, bagasse 1000-5000g, termite information inducing pheromone 2g. The trapping and killing method comprises: mixing the Keyixing, bagasse and termite information inducing pheromone; loading the mixture in a trapping and killing box; burying the trapping and killing box on the dam; inducing termite into the trapping and killing box to freely eat by the termite information inducing pheromone; position bait being eaten by the termite; the other termites eating the died termite; the chronic poisoned termites of the whole nest being died after cross-infection and repeat-infection. The termite trapping and killing method using poison bait has features: 1 Keyixing being a efficient and safe biological pesticide without pollution to the environment; 2 adding termite information inducing pheromone into the attractant to attracting more termite eating; 3 buried trapping and killing box no afraid of rain and sun and the validity period of attractant being long.

The combination of keratin hydrolysate with viable cells or infectious propagules of a fungal biological control agent such as Paecilomyces species, Metarhizium species, Beauveria species, and / or Verticillium species, provides effective control of soil-dwelling or subterranean insects, including termites, and particularly those belonging to the family Rhinotermitidae, such as the Formosan subterranean termite and native North American subterranean termites. In use, a foam-forming composition comprising the keratin hydrolysate and an insecticidally effective amount of the fungus are applied to the insects, the locus of the insects, to material susceptible to infestation by said insects, or to the locus of material susceptible to infestation by said insects.

The invention relates to an anti-termite method for inhibiting termite symbiotic bacteria by using a fermentation liquid of endophytic bacteria in trees, and relates to an anti-termite method for inhibiting termite symbiotic bacteria by using a fermentation liquid of endophytic bacteria in trees. The present invention is carried out as follows: from termites, symbiotic bacteria with lignin and / or cellulose decomposition ability are isolated as indicator bacteria; endophytic bacteria are isolated from termite-resistant trees, and fermented to obtain endophytic bacteria fermentation bacteriostatic test on termite symbiotic bacteria by using the fermentation liquid of endophytic bacteria in trees; the feeding test on termites was carried out by soaking the filter paper with the fermentation liquid of endophytic bacteria in trees which has an inhibitory effect on the symbiotic bacteria of termites. After statistical analysis, it is shown that the termites in the test group eat significantly less filter paper than the control group, and the death rate of the termites in the test group is significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference is extremely significant; The control group was weak, indicating that the fermentation broth contained compounds that were resistant to termites.
