Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[Field of the Invention]

[0002] The present invention relates to an insect behavior control agent, and more specifically, to control an attracting action of collecting female adults of tobacco beetles at a specific place and an egg-laying stimulating action for inducing an immediate release of an egg at a specific place. The present invention relates to an insect behavior control agent that enables large-scale ovulation and the like.

[0003]

[Prior art]

[0004] Tobacco beetles are an international major pest that infests most plants that are edible and stored dry. Moreover, it is a difficult-to-control urban-type insect adapted to human habitats. Conventionally, in a tobacco factory, a food factory, and the like, a so-called residual application method of applying a highly residual insecticide to a wall, a DDVP smoke method, and the like have been implemented. At present, these control means are totally banned from the standpoint of environmental pollution prevention, and the control method in processing workplaces where the most control measures are most required must rely only on cleaning for insect control. However, as the speed of raw material processing has increased in pursuit of factory productivity,
The amount of dust that scatters insects increases, causing it to accumulate around complex equipment, and even if it is thoroughly cleaned, there is a natural limitation in removing sources. Also-sometimes at a foreign tobacco factory
R, an insect growth controlling substance) was directly applied to stored tobacco, but it was not widely used due to safety problems. Therefore, despite the introduction of comprehensive control centering on cleaning, many factories are still struggling with the frequent occurrence of tobacco beetles.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0006] As described above, from the standpoint of environmental conservation, conventional insecticides cannot be used in places where people come and go or where foods and the like are stored. The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an insect behavior control agent which is excellent in suppressing the occurrence density and is friendly to the human body and the environment.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors have developed dried plants (for example, Chinese herbal medicines such as Hakubashi and Hakuken, herbs such as sage thyme, etc.) which female adults prefer to gather.
Extraction and separation of many volatile components from spices such as pepper and pepper), and observed the behavior of female adults against a large number of samples prepared with each component. And a specific reaction that many eggs are laid at the same time. The present inventors have found that based on this finding, a specific compound can induce a dual effect of attracting and stimulating egg laying on female adult female tobacco beetles, and can be a practically excellent insect behavior control agent. As a result, the present invention has been completed.

That is, the means for solving the problems of the present invention are as follows.

First, it contains at least one substance selected from the group consisting of linalool, limonene, cineol, solanesol, citral, terpineol, phenethyl propionate, phenethyl butyrate, ionone, eugenol, and myrcene as an active ingredient. An insect behavior regulator that controls the behavior of female adults. Second, the controlling action is an attracting action against female adult tobacco beetles,
The insect behavior control agent according to the first aspect. Thirdly, the insect behavior control agent according to the first aspect, wherein the controlling action is an egg-laying stimulating action on an adult female tobacco beetle. Fourthly, the insect behavior controlling agent according to the first aspect, wherein the controlling behavior is an attracting behavior and an egg-laying stimulating behavior with respect to an adult female tobacco beetle.

One example of the compounding ratio of the components of the behavior control agent according to the present invention is as follows.
