Abstract

This study was carried out at El-kasasien district, Ismailia governorate
from April 2013 until July 2013 to evaluate the efficiency of three shapes of
termite traps and also from September 2013 until November 2013 to
evaluate the efficiency of five trapping materials for the subterranean
harvester termites Anacanthotermes ochraceus (Burm.). Results showed that
food consumption varied with trap shape though food consumption was
almost similar throughout four months. The most efficiency was the plastic
trap followed by the corrugated card board trap, while the least was the
P.V.C trap. Significant differences were found, where the mean values of
food consumption were 18.29, 14.08, and 6.46 g/ trap, with mean numbers
of captured termites of 11.18, 6.83, and 4.32 individuals/ trap, respectively.
The highest food consumption, soil translocation and number of
captured termites occurred in corrugated cardboard material used for
trapping followed by cellulose, toilet papers, and wooden particles, while
the lowest consumption wooden stakes. Significant differences were found
between cardboard and cellulose and between toilet paper, wooden particles
and wooden stakes.
