Abstract

This study is conducted to develop new termite colony elimination system that can control termite colony much faster, and to eco-environmentally prevent termite damage occurred in wooden cultural heritage. As a result of laboratory test, we developed a component system, of which fipronil 0.001% (w/w) treated bait was used as a suitable termite colony eliminator. This system can be monitored without taking off underground, and it makes regular monitoring much more efficient. The result of field test showed that 36 termite baiting devices among 367 installed devices were damaged by foraging termites. After baiting, all of termite colonies attracted to devices were eliminated or their activity clearly decreased.

전통 목조건축물의 보존을 위해 국내 전역에 서식하는 일본흰개미 아종(Reticulitermes speratus kyushuensis)의 방제에 적합한 흰개미 예찰제어기 제형을 개발하고 실내 실험 및 현장적용성 평가를 수행하였다. 실내 실험 결과를 통해 적합한 제형을 구성하였으며, 보다 빠른 군체제거가 가능한 독먹이로써 피프로닐 0.001% (w/w)이 선정되었다. 흰개미 예찰제어기는 기존 군체제거제와 다르게 지면에 설치된 상태 그대로 흰개미 가해 여부를 육안으로 관찰할 수 있어 효율적인 모니터링이 가능하였다. 2013년 3월부터 10월까지 전남 순천 송광사 권역에서 수행된 현장적용성 평가 결과 총 367개 중 약 9.8%에 해당하는 36개에서 흰개미가 탐지되었으며, 군체제거약제 교체 후 36개 모두에서 흰개미 군체가 제거되거나 활성이 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
