Abstract

An ant bait composition includes 5 to 55 wt% of a sugar, and 1 to 45 wt% of a pesticide. Each weight percentage is calculated based on the total weight of the bait composition. The ant bait composition effectively lures ants, such that the ants move the ant bait composition back into the nest of the ants, and the ant bait composition kills most of the ants.

Description

Ant bait composition

The present invention is a bait composition, and more particularly a bait composition for attracting ants.

According to the living area or its immediate vicinity, for example, garden or garden, the existence of ants causes inconvenience to the individual. Generally speaking, the ants belong to the social insects living in groups, if there is residual food around the house or other buildings, It will certainly attract a large number of specific ants, so it is quite troublesome. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase specific insecticides or ant drugs for poisoning and elimination.

In the current market, there are many types of bait ant medicines, which can be divided into a single genus ant bait and a multi-purpose ant bait; for example, Chinese patent CN 101189974 A discloses a safe and environmentally friendly erythrant bait comprising: 0.01% to 5% The insecticidal active ingredient extracted from the insecticidal plant; 4% to 40% of the microcapsule embedding agent which makes the insecticidal active ingredient into microcapsules; 54.7% to 95.89% of the feeding attractant substance; 0.1% to 0.3% % potassium sorbate or sodium sorbate preservative. It can effectively eliminate and poison the red fire ants in the whole nest, but the application time must be more than 25 days to have obvious effect, which does not meet the economic cost and benefit.

Therefore, how to invent an ant bait can quickly and effectively induce single or multiple ants, thereby achieving the effect of poisoning most of the ants in the nest.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an ant bait composition having sucrose, sodium glutamate, a preservative, and an insecticide, which can obviously induce an ant of a specific genus to carry the bait composition back into the nest, and In turn, it effectively poisons most of the ants in the nest and destroys the ethnic system of the ants in the nest.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a bait composition comprising: a saccharide in a weight percentage of 5% to 55%; and an attractant in a weight percentage of 1% to 45%, wherein each weight percentage Calculated for the bait composition.

Wherein, the weight percentage of the saccharide is 5% to 20%, and the weight percentage of the attractant is 1% to 25%.

Wherein, the weight percentage of the saccharide is 10% to 20%, and the weight percentage of the attractant is 1% to 10%.

Among them, the kind of the saccharide may be any known monosaccharide, disaccharide or a mixture thereof.

The type of the attractant is selected from the group consisting of tryptophan, tyrosine, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) or a combination thereof.

Among them, an insecticide is further included, and the weight percentage thereof is 1% to 30%.

The insecticide is selected from the group consisting of Boric acid, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, pyriproxyfen, and Hydramethylnon.

Wherein, the weight percentage of the pesticide is from 1% to 5%.

Among them, a preservative is further included, and the type of the preservative is sodium benzoate, and the weight percentage thereof is 0.1% to 20%.

Wherein, the weight percentage of the preservative is from 0.1% to 0.7%.

Among them, the bait composition can be made into one of solid particles, liquid mixture, and gel.

The present invention provides a use of a bait composition for poisoning ants.

The present invention provides a method of poisoning ants comprising a bait composition supplied.

Among them, at least one ant is poisoned, which may be a fire ant ( Solenopsis spp. ), a large ant ( Pheidole spp. ), a lichens ( Dolichoderus thoracicus ) or a hair ant ( Lasius spp. ).

By the above, the present invention can provide efficacy, the type and concentration of the sugar and attractant of the bait composition, can obviously and quickly attract specific ant species to feed, and move the bait composition back to the ant nest In order to achieve effective poisoning and elimination of most ants, the practical benefits of the present invention are increased.

Furthermore, the composition of the bait composition of the present invention is simple, and only the addition of sucrose and sodium glutamate, and the specific concentration and ratio are formulated, so as to effectively attract the ants to forage and increase the practicability of the present invention.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a use of a bait composition for poisoning at least one ant, which may be a fire ant ( Solenopsis spp. ), a large ant ( Pheidole spp. ), a lichenirus ( Dolichoderus thoracicus ) or Hair ants ( Lasius spp. ).

Example

These examples are provided to illustrate the invention. However, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Example 1: Screening the types of sugars

600 glazed glazed ants in each nest were kept in a storage box, and sucrose, fructose, and maltose were respectively disposed in 10% and 20% (w/v) solutions, and the reversed water was used as a control group to take time-lapse photography. The camera (Brinno TLC200) was taken every 30 seconds and the one-hour feeding process was continuously recorded to test the preference of the glazed glazed ants for different sugars and concentrations, each of which was repeated six times. Table 1 shows the total statistics of the ants and foods of different sugars and concentrations.

It can be seen from the above data that 20% sucrose aqueous solution can reach 435.3±25/times of worker ants foraging, which is more effective than fructose and maltose to attract worker ants for foraging.

Example 2: Screening the concentration of different attractants

In an embodiment of the invention, the attractant is sodium glutamate (MSG).

A 20% sucrose aqueous solution and different concentrations of sodium glutamate (MSG) (1%, 3%, 5%, 10%) were used as a liquid bait, and a sucrose aqueous solution without MSG was used as a control group, and one continuous recording was performed. The preference for different concentrations of attractant was tested during the hourly feeding process, with each test repeated six times. Table 2 is a statistical table of total ants foraging at different MSG concentrations.

It can be seen from the above data that 1% MSG 20% sucrose aqueous solution can reach 525.3±27.8 times of worker ant foraging, which is significantly different from the control group 20% sucrose aqueous solution (420.8±18.7 times), and compared with other formulas. The sucrose aqueous solution (3%, 5%, 10%) was compared with the control group, and there was no significant difference. Therefore, for the formulation of the liquid bait of the larvae, the 1% MSG 20% sucrose aqueous solution was the best ratio. .

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any modifications or variations that are made without departing from the spirit of the invention are intended to be protected.
