Effect of Soil Type and Exposure Duration on Mortality and Transfer of Chlorantraniliprole and Fipronil on Formosan Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Abstract: The uptake and potential transfer of chlorantraniliprole and fipronil by the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, was investigated in the laboratory by using donor-recipient model bioassays. Two different types of substrates, sandy loam soil (18.6% organic matter) and sand (0.19% organic matter), were used to evaluate how these treated substrates impact the direct mortality and transfer efficiency of the two nonrepellent termiticides tested at different concentrations. Chlorantranilip… Show more

“…Although the delayed termite mortality produced by chlorantraniliprole is well established (Gautam and Henderson 2011, Saran et al 2011, Neoh et al 2012, the termiticide might cause important disruptions of normal behavior that could prevent termiticide transfer from happening. Buczkowski et al (2012) found that normal behavior of the eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes flavipes) is disrupted a few hours after exposure to chlorantraniliprole.…”

“…Several studies have reported that mortality of termites exposed to chlorantraniliprole is delayed for 48 h or more (Gautam and Henderson 2011, Saran et al 2011, Neoh et al 2012, which might provide sufÞcient time for interactions leading to termiticide transfer to occur. Transfer between termites of the same colony has been observed in several termite species (Shelton 2009, Gautam and Henderson 2011, Buczkowski et al 2012, Neoh et al 2012, Puckett et al 2012. Additionally, termites exposed to chlorantraniliprole have been noted to have greater than normal frequency of interactions with unexposed nestmates (Neoh et al 2013).…”

“…Nile blue A-dyed termites (blue termites) were prepared as described in Gautam and Henderson (2011a). To prepare donors, 60 g each of the treated (5 or 10 ppm Þpronil) or control sand was placed in a Petri dish (150 by 15 mm, Fisherbrand, Fisher ScientiÞc, Pittsburgh, PA) and moistened with 9 ml of distilled water where 200 dyed termites from each colony were released and allowed to walk on the sand for 1 h at room temperature (22ЊC).…”

“…The second tier of toxicity of Þpronil to C. formosanus depends on horizontal transfer of the chemical among termite cohorts. Factors shown to affect Þpronil transfer include donorÐrecipient ratio, preexposure dose and duration, temperature, substrate type, and caste structure (Ibrahim et al 2003, Shelton and Grace 2003, Hu 2005, Song and Hu 2006, Spomer et al 2008, Gautam and Henderson 2011a. However, the inßuence of group size on horizontal transfer has not been studied.…”
