Fungus-growing termites (Termitidae: Macrotermitinae) are common forest and agriculture pests. To evaluate the efficacy of termite baiting in suppressing field population of fungus-growing termites, a durable termite bait with hexaflumuron was evenly installed in a one-hectare forest area dominated by a fungus-growing termite, Odontotermes formosanus (Shiraki). Monthly monitoring of termite foraging activity on baits and wood stakes was conducted for 4 years to quantify efficacy of baits. To examine whether the hexaflumuron led to colony death, pesticides in fungus gardens of active and deceased nests were quantified using a LC-QTOF/MS.

使用六氟脲耐用诱饵对生长真菌的白蚁 Odontotermes formosanus 进行区域种群控制

真菌生长白蚁（Termitidae：Macrotermitinae）是常见的森林和农业害虫。为了评估白蚁诱饵对抑制真菌生长白蚁野外种群的有效性，在以真菌生长的白蚁Odontotermes formosanus (Shiraki)为主的一公顷森林区域均匀地安装了一种含有六氟脲的耐用白蚁诱饵。对白蚁在诱饵和木桩上觅食的活动进行了 4 年的月度监测，以量化诱饵的功效。为了检查六氟脲是否导致菌落死亡，使用 LC-QTOF/MS 对活跃和已故巢的真菌花园中的杀虫剂进行了定量。
