Paper Title:
Unmasking the Lethal Potential: Investigating the Impact of essential oils of Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus saligna), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Garlic (Allium sativum), Turpentine oil and Petrol (Gasoline) on Mortality rate of Subterranean Termite (Coptotermes heimi)
This experiment presents the findings focused on assessing the effectiveness of various oils, including petrol, as wood protectants against termite infestation. The collected data revealed that petrol exhibited the highest mortality rate among termites causing 96.5% mortality in 5 hours of the experiment, compared to other oils, while neem oil exhibited the lowest mortality rate with 46%. Additionally, the study indicates that turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil, and garlic oil demonstrated a high level of resistance against termite infestation and have the potential to be utilized as alternative wood preservatives, offering an environmentally friendly option to synthetic counterparts. The mortality pattern revealed by the findings is as follows: Petrol>Turpentine oil>Eucalyptus oil>Garlic oil>Neem oil. Additionally, the effectiveness of these oils in preventing damage to wood was investigated. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and the Test Significant Difference (p<0.05) were employed for data analysis. The results revealed a significant increase in the mortality rate of termites exposed to petrol, turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil, garlic oil and neem seed oil than in the control treatment. These findings highlight the potential of these oils in effectively controlling termite infestation and minimizing wood damage.
