Abstract

field experiments were conducted in Ismailia governorate to evaluate different types of traps (El-Sebay modified corrugated card-board trap, toilet paper trap, PVC toilet paper trap and PVC corrugated card-board trap) for estimating field activities (attracted individuals, consumed food and translocated soil) of subterranean termites, Psammotermes hybostoma (Desneux). The obtained data revealed that El-Sebay modified traps was the most efficient recording the highest rates of attraction (28577.5 individuals), consumed food (1554.45 gm), and soil translocation (4094.4 gm) followed by toilet paper trap (21737.9 individuals, 1403.09 gm and 3227.87 gm for attracted termites, consumed food and translocated soil, respectively). The two tested types of PVC traps recorded the lowest rates of termite activities Statistical analysis of data proved that the differences in the three aspects of subterranean termite activities between the four tested types of traps were insignificantly correlated. It could be recommend to use of El-Sebay modified-trap (Corrugated card-board), because of ease in preparation, very lower in cost and attract the highest numbers of subterranean termites, as well as termites stay alive in these traps for long times.
