白蚁是一类以木质纤维素为食的社会性昆虫,在自然环境中,它们常对房屋建筑、经济林木和水利工程造成危害,利用饵剂消灭其巢群是减少白蚁危害的重要方法。以前,人们主要用灭蚁灵作为白蚁饵剂的有效成分。由于灭蚁灵是持久性有机污染物,已被世界各国禁止生产和使用。苯甲酰脲类杀虫剂作用于昆虫的几丁质合成酶,造成昆虫幼虫脱皮后不能形成新表皮而死亡,因而对人和动物非常安全,是一类具有广阔应用前景的灭蚁灵替代品。本文简要介绍了苯甲酰脲类杀虫剂的种类和作用特点,概括了它们作为饵剂有效成分防治白蚁的效果,指出了它们在白蚁防治中存在的问题及今后的发展方向。 Termites are social insects that feed on lignocelluloses. In natural environment, termites often cause harm to house construction, economic trees and water conservancy projects. The use of bait to eliminate their nest is an important method to reduce the damage of termite. In the past, mirex was mainly used as the active ingredient of the termite bait. As mirex is a persistent organic pollutant, it has been banned in all countries in the world. Benzoylurea pesticides acting on insect chitin synthase, resulting in insect larvae can not form a new epidermis after peeling and death, which is very safe for humans and animals, is a broad application prospect of mirex substitution Product In this paper, the types and the functions of benzoylurea insecticides are briefly introduced. Their effects on the control of termites as bait active ingredients are summarized. The problems existing in the control of termites and their future development are pointed out.
