Description

A new pyrethroid, fluvalinate was studied for its termiticidal efficacy by conducting some labolatory and field tests.<BR>The efficacy of fluvalinate was found to be almost equal or more than that of other synthetic pyrethroids, such as permethrin and fenvalerate in the wood-block tests and this potency increased by the addition of a pyrethroid synergist, indicating the possibility of lowering the fluvalinate concentration in some formulations.<BR>Comparative studies with some pyrethroids and organophosphorus compounds showed that fluvalinate has a good stability to light and is relatively stable in the soil.<BR>Oil formulations containing fluvalinate for timber treatment were perfectly effective to the wood-decaying fungi and termites.<BR>Futherniore, Emulsion type fluvalinate for soil treatment prevented sufficiently the termites penetration to the treated soil.<BR>Because of the low mammalian toxicity and no problem of fluvalinate translocation in the environment, it seems that fluvalinate-based termiticides are promising alternatives to the organophosphorus compounds for wood preserving purposes.
