| PAS 1 | "The Effectiveness Cigarette Butts as Liquid AntiTermite – The main food of termites is cellulose. Wooden home furniture is often eaten by termites. Even termites can damage building construction. We can find cigarette butts around us that it becomes a waste that pollutes the environment. Nicotine alkaloid substances can paralyze the nerves and it’s really effective to control insects including termites. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of tobacco content liquid antitermite to control termites. The method is used as a wood-decoy technique that is smearing and soaking with liquid anti-termites of each tobacco mass containing 1 gr, 2 gr, 3 gr, 4 gr, 5 gr, and 6 gr. Observations are conducted once in every 3 hours for 24 hours. The results of this study show that the most effective liquid anti-termite to control termites is liquid anti-termite with a mass content of 6 grams of tobacco, the percentage of mortality at 12 hours of observation reaches 100% and the mass of wood does not decrease." https://eudl.eu/pdf/10.4108/eai.29-6-2019.2290401 |
