Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to insect attractant compositions.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as attractants for crawling insects such as ants, it is known to use food attractants such as peacock, sugar, honey, pollen grains, and sex attractants such as pheromones.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the uniform attraction method using attractants as described above,
Some species of social insects, such as ants, often do not exhibit attracting activity, and no satisfactory activity has yet been achieved against unpleasant pests that have recently become a problem. Furthermore, if these generally known attractants contain pest control components such as insecticidal components, the insect repellent properties of the control components will drastically reduce the attracting activity, and insects will use these poisonous baits to nest. There is a problem in that the insects are not brought back to the plant and a sufficient control effect cannot be achieved through attraction.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of extensive research into the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a fully satisfactory insect attraction when a mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids is used as an attracting ingredient. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the mixture has excellent attracting activity, and even when a pest control ingredient is added to this mixture, the poisonous bait is carried back to the nest without any resistance. did.

That is, the present invention provides an insect attractant composition characterized by using a mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids as an attracting ingredient, and an insect attractant composition containing both a mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, and an insect control ingredient as active ingredients. An insect attractant composition characterized by:

[Example] Carbohydrates used in the present invention include fruit juice, honey, waste sugar honey, multidose, isomeructose, sucrose, sugar cane, sugar, palatinose, trehanose, sucrose, sophorose, kojibiose, talanose, laminaribiose, Nigerose, maltose, cellobiose, lactose, xylobiose, leuclose, gentiobiose, isomaltose, melibiose, rutinose, primverose, bicyanose, leuinose, D-glucose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid, D- Examples include, but are not limited to, mannose, D-xylose, D-fructose, L-arabinose, D-glucuronic acid, D-glucosamine, and L-fucose.

The shape of the carbohydrate may be any solid shape such as powder or granules, or may be paste, liquid, gel, etc., but the shape is such that it is easy for crawling insects such as ants to carry it. It is preferable.

As the protein used in the present invention, any animal protein, vegetable protein, etc. can be used.
Products containing these proteins, such as biological powders, extracts thereof, enzymatic decomposition products, etc., can be in the form of granules or powders, and any of them can be used.

Typical examples of such proteins include the animal proteins actin, albumin, egg, casein, fibrin, fibrinogen, 1' keratin, globulin (α, β, γ), hemoglobin, lactoglobulin, myosin, pepsin, thread sphorylase,
Ribonuclease, fish soluple, etc., or those obtained from locusts, grasshoppers, praying mantises, crickets, cockroaches, grasshoppers, butterflies, moths, flies, krill, cows, horses, rabbits, fish, shellfish, etc., and plant proteins. Examples include edestin, zein, gliadin, etc., as well as those selected from aratin (peanuts), globulin (capocha seeds, wheat bran), tzein (flour), gluten (wheat, corn), phaseolin (broad beans), soybeans, etc. However, in addition to these, various amino acids such as proline may be used as the final decomposition product of the protein. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

There are no restrictions on the lipids used in the present invention, including oily substances such as vegetable oils and animal oils (including those that become oily when heated).
At least one or more of these may be appropriately selected and used. The vegetable oils include, for example, vegetable fats such as wood wax, coconut oil, cacao butter, and ofuko oil, castor oil, olive oil,
Examples include non-drying oils such as peanut oil, semi-drying oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and cottonseed oil, and drying oils such as linseed oil, tung oil, hempseed oil, and nino oil. Further, as the animal oil, for example, body fat 1, which is mammalian fat,
．． Butter fat, puffed oil, oils and fats obtained from birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, etc., whale oil, dolphin oil, sardine oil, herring oil, cod liver oil, shark liver oil, squid porridge oil, clam oil, egg oil,
Examples include microbial fats and oils, and fats and oils from yeast and bacteria.

As the pest control component used in the present invention, various conventionally known chemicals can be used. Typical drugs include, for example, the insecticide d-resmethrin;
Pyrethroid compounds such as dN-resmethrin, 'permethrin, cyphenothrin, phenothrin, and cypermethrin; organophosphorus compounds such as fenitrothion, diazinon, and marathon; carbamate compounds such as Vibon and Sevin; insect juvenile hormones such as methoprene; Examples include anti-juvenile hormone agents such as precosen and molting hormone agents such as ecdysone, but are not limited to these. Among these drugs, it is more preferable to use ingredients that are generally known to have excellent slow-acting properties, or to concentrations that are prescribed to an extent that lacks the rapid-acting properties of fast-acting drugs (1/4 to 1150 of the amount normally used). It is preferable to use a

The addition ratio of protein to carbohydrates is between 1 and 5 degrees.
It is preferable to mix it in an amount of 0% (weight %, the same applies hereinafter), preferably in the range of 5 to 30%. The mixing ratio of lipid to carbohydrate is preferably 1 to 50%, preferably 5 to 30%.

By mixing carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids as described above, an insect attractant composition free of pest control ingredients of the present invention is produced.

Insect attractant 1 of the present invention produced in this way,
The agent composition can be applied to various insects and is effective □″'1
However, representative examples of the above insects include ants and ants. Specific examples of the above-mentioned ants include black ants such as the Japanese giant ant, Japanese black ant, black-spotted brown ant, black mountain ant, black-spotted brown ant, samurai ant, red-spotted ant, and Japanese white ant, and termites such as the Japanese termite and Japanese termite. Examples include wasps such as the hornet, paper wasps such as the Futamon paper wasp,
Examples include bees such as the Japanese honey bee.

The insect attractant composition of the present invention in the form of granules, fine particles or powder produced as described above, preferably in the form of particles as shown in FIG. On+e
Particulate matter (1
) at an appropriate location where pest control is required, for example, in the case of ants, near the nest to be controlled or along the path of worker ants, preferably within several meters from the nest, more preferably within about 1 meter. , for example, by placing particulate matter (1) as shown in FIG. 2, it can be effectively attracted. The same is true for numerous species of other social insects.

In addition, when preparing the mixture consisting of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, if a pest control component is included,
An insect attractant composition having extremely excellent insecticidal activity can be prepared without any loss in attractiveness. The insect attractant composition prepared in this manner effectively attracts various types of social insects and exhibits extremely excellent insecticidal power.

The pest control component is preferably added in a range of 0.1 to 10% with respect to the mixture of the above three components.

In the present invention, various conventionally used additives can also be added to each of the above-mentioned components. Such additives include pigments (food coloring, etc.), binders (starch, hydroxypropyl cellulose, etc.), fungicides (preservatives) (benzethonium chloride, etc.), and synergists (S-4).
