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.
