Abstract

The housing demands in Bogor City have been on the rise, leading to environmental changes affecting pest organisms, especially subterranean termites. This research aimed to identify various species of subterranean termites in Bogor City, analyze soil and weather conditions, and evaluate termite attack frequency and severity. The study spanned 12 designated sub-districts. In each area, 25 bait wood (2 x 2 x 46 cm) crafted from pine wood and treated with water vapor pressure (105°C, 1 bar, 5 hours) were installed. Soil samples were gathered from each sampled village, while weather data was specifically documented in one sub-district. Findings uncovered three termite species inhabiting residential zones of Bogor City: Microtermes insperatus, Macrotermes gilvus, and Schedorhinotermes javanicus, with Microtermes insperatus emerging as the predominant species. The soil and weather conditions significantly favored termite existence in Bogor City. Termite attack prevalence stood at 38%, and the degree of wood damage ranged from 4 to 9.

Abstract

Coptotermes curvignathus is a termite pest that attacks buildings, plantations, and forests. Controlling this pest requires environmentally friendly natural materials. The bintaro plant (Cerbera odollam) are known in Indonesia as natural insecticides and traditional medicines because of their strong toxic properties, so they have the potential to be used in termite control. This study evaluated the efficacy of C. odollam leaf and fruit peel extracts as natural termiticides and their effectiveness against subterranean termite C. curvignathus. The extraction process used three solvents with different polarities: n-hexane, acetone, and ethanol. Anti-termite bioactivity tests were conducted following the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) 1571-2010 method. Ethanol extract from C. odollam leaves produced the highest yield (9.52%). Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, and saponins in both leaf and fruit peel extracts. The anti-termite bioactivity test showed that the leaf extract with acetone solvent caused 97.33% mortality, while the fruit peel extract with ethanol solvent caused 100% mortality at a 5% concentration. This study demonstrates that C. odollam leaf and fruit peel extracts have strong potential as natural termiticides.
