ABSTRACT: The development of
baiting system was very advanced, however it was very expensive thus the use of
it was limited on certain community. Based on those conditions, it was needed a
researches on local resourches basis or low cost material baiting system in order
to be applicated in building protection included simple home. This researches
consisted of laboratory and field test. The laboratory test was performed to
determine preference baiting media (pulp, sawdust, Pinus merkusii wood, WMD
(wood monitoring devices) from Pinus radiata and reliability tested between
disodium borax decahydrate and chitosan against Coptotermes curvignathus. After
the determination of baiting system and reliability, field test was performed
on termite attacked building. Field test consisted of termite presence
detection,observatory station, determination of consumption rate and baiting
system resistance. The laboratory results showed the most preference baiting
system was WMD with persentage weight loss was 40.5%. The comparation of reliability
between disodium borax decahydrate and chitosan showed that termite mortality
of disodium borax decahydrate was higher than chitosan, meanwhile reliability
results showed oltherwise. Chitosan field test showed eating consumption level
was decreasing at 75th days and on 135th days eating consumption level was
rached 15 gr/day. It meaned there was a decreasing of termite population cause
of termite baiting system.
