Abstract: Objective To test the toxicity and attractive actions of sulfluramid baits on the workers of Reticulitermes flaviceps.Methods The toxic effects of sulfluramid baits on the workers of R.flaviceps were tested by the method of filter paper-dipping chemical solution,and the attractive action of sulfluramid baits on the workers of R.flaviceps were tested using agar as the barrier.Results The 0.05% and 0.08% sulfluramid baits had high toxicities on the workers of R.flaviceps and 100% mortalities were at 13 days and 9 days after treatment respectively.The 0.05% and 0.08% sulfluramid baits had good attractive action on the workers of R.flaviceps and the rates of workers visiting these two baits were at least 20% higher than that of the control baits(pine wood).Conclusion It is recommended to use 0.05% sulfluramid bait for termite control in the field.
