Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is a method for preventing spiral formation by termites.

More specifically, this is a new method that effectively prevents termites from moving into the wood of a building by skillfully utilizing paints and coating solutions containing effective termite-controlling chemicals and the termites' behavior in response to this. It is related to.

Termites are a large number of wooden buildings, and if they are repeatedly invaded by termites, the wooden building will become weakened from its roots and may even be at risk of collapsing. For these reasons, in recent years, when constructing new buildings, methods such as spraying or mixing chlordane and other termite control agents (emulsions, powders, granules) into the soil within the building area have been adopted as a measure against termites. This has prevented the negative effects of contaminating groundwater, rivers, lakes and marshes. Originally, the causes of such contamination are the dissemination of treatment chemicals during disasters such as sub-floor flooding, or the carelessness and negligence of soil treatment companies (for example, cleaning containers).

It is said that this is due to the dumping of residual liquid waste, etc., but pollution is becoming more and more serious on a global scale year after year. By the way, the Environmental Safety Division of Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture was founded in 1982.
According to a water quality survey of well water in September,
In Koya-cho and Yojima-cho of the same city, chlordane was 0.008.
This means that 92 PPM was detected, which is actually 3 points higher than the World Health Organization's safety standard of 0.0003 PPM.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare, which took this situation seriously, was concerned about its effects on the human body and had no choice but to impose legal restrictions on the handling of chlordane.
(See page 6 of the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, November 24, 2017).

Incidentally, when insects called termites move in groups, they have the habit of always forming spirals and marching through them to the target point. Conversely, this means that termites cannot function unless they create spirals.

The present invention skillfully utilizes the habits of termites, and the amount of insecticides and repellents effective against termites is small enough to prevent them from flowing into wells, rivers, lakes, and marshes due to rainwater, flooding, etc. This is an innovative termite-proofing technology that can completely prevent termite damage to buildings over a long period of time without causing any risk of environmental pollution.

That is, according to the present invention; as shown in the figure, a paint or coating liquid 1 containing an insecticide or termite repellent is applied over the entire side surface of a fabric foundation 2 provided around the build area. Alternatively, there is provided a method for preventing termites from forming a termite, which is characterized in that the termites are continuously deposited in a band shape upward from the site of contact with the ground surface.

To explain in more detail based on the illustrated example, paint/coating liquid l
Usually, a coating solution such as a water-soluble emulsion type or oil-based emulsion type paint or synthetic resin liquid is used as a base material, and an insecticide or termite repellent effective against termites is mixed with this coating liquid. However, the insecticide that should be mixed into the paint/coating solution base material is an organic phosphorus compound.

The agent shall be appropriately selected from conventionally known insecticides and termite repellents such as organic chlorine compounds. In addition.

The insecticide/repellent contained in the paint/coating solution 1 does not necessarily have to have a long-lasting effect.

The paint or coating liquid 1 prepared in this way is as follows.

For example, it is continuously attached over the entire circumference of the side surface of the cloth foundation 2 in the manner shown in FIG. 1 or 2.

That is, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 shows a case in which the paint/coating liquid 1 is applied in a band shape with a width of 10 to 15 cm upward from the ground surface contact area of the cloth foundation 2. In this example, paint/coating liquid 1
The reason why I made the coating cap 10~15c+n.

This is done in consideration of the distance limit at which termites can form a spiral movement against the insecticides and repellents contained therein. By the way, termites have a habit of building tube-shaped tunnels (formed with soil and saliva) called aerial spiraling to break through when there is an obstacle or space between them and their target point. However, even with such aerial spiral movement, it is impossible to avoid passing 10 cm from the ground contact area of the cloth foundation 2. The reason for this is due to the limitations of termites' ability to communicate using their pheromones.

On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows a case where the paint 1 is continuously applied all over the entire periphery of the cloth foundation 2. Although this method requires a larger amount of paint/coating liquid 1 than the embodiment shown in FIG.
Needless to say, this is a way to prevent the formation of a more complete enlightenment.

The method of the invention is carried out generally as described above.

The present invention is by no means limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims.1 For example, as shown in FIG. In addition to applying the above-mentioned paint or coating liquid 1, a sheet material 3 containing an anti-termite agent is spread on the ground surface of the area surrounded by the same cloth foundation 2, and further around the bundle stones 4. The present invention also naturally envisages a method of attaching a paint or a coating liquid 1.

As explained above, in the method of the present invention.

Since we have adopted a method of continuously applying paint/coating liquid l containing insecticides and repellents over the entire circumference of the sides of the cloth foundation 2 in the required width, termites living underground can be removed from the sides of the cloth foundation 2. Even if it forms a spiral and tries to climb up the woody part,
Due to the medicinal effects of the paint/coating liquid 1, a spiral cannot be formed in that area and it is forced to withdraw. Once termites learn the dangers of paint/coating liquid 1.

The female termite belonging to the anthill secretes an alarm pheromone to alert the termites in the family of danger.

Even if the medicinal ingredients in the paint 1 are volatilized, it will never come close to the cloth foundation 2.

Therefore, according to the present invention, termite damage to buildings can be effectively prevented without causing any environmental pollution, which has been a problem in the past, and the benefits to society can be said to be extremely large.
