Abstract

Semut Api ( Solenopsis sp. ) dapat berbahaya bagi para pekerja di luar ruangan. Mereka menyebabkan masalah kesehatan yang serius seperti reaksi alergi yang mengancam nyawa. Karena dampak negatif dari semut api, orang berusaha untuk mengendalikan mereka dengan berbagai teknik seperti perawatan gundukan dan menggunakan insektisida. Tetapi tidak ada metode yang dapat mengontrol secara permanen atau memberantas hama. Berdasarkan fakta bahwa vinegar adalah pengusir yang poten, penelitian dilakukan untuk menguji efek insektisida pada semut api. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian laboratorium eksperimental menggunakan tiga konsentrasi vinegar yang berbeda (50%, 60%, 70%) untuk mengusir semut api dan jumlah semut api yang bisa melewat tuba yang dikasih vinegar di 1 jam, 2 jam, 3 jam hingga 6 jam diamati. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji One Way ANOVA. Menurut analisis, konsentrasi yang berbeda memberikan efek pengusir vinegar yang berbeda di setiap jam. Berdasarkan tes ini, dosis optimum asam asetat digunakan sebagai pengusir semut api adalah 70% dan yang paling efektif dalam tiga jam pertama. Dari penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa vinegar memiliki efek pengusir pada semut api (Solenopsis sp.).

English Abstract

Fire Ants (Solenopsis sp.) can be hazardous to outdoor workers. They can cause serious health problems such as life-threatening allergic reactions. Because of the negative impacts of fire ants, people attempt to control them by various techniques such as mound treatments and using insecticides. But there are no methods that permanently control or eliminate them. Based on the fact that vinegar is a potent repellent, a research was done to test its repellent effect on fire ants. This research was an experimental laboratory research using three different concentrations of vinegar (50%, 60 %, 70%) to repel fire ants and the number of repelled fire ants in 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour, 4th hour, 5th hour, 6th hour and 24th hour were observed. The obtained data was analyzed by using One Way ANOVA test. According to the analysis, different concentrations of Vinegar (acetic acid) give different repellent effects in every hour. Based on this test, the optimum dose of acetic acid to be used as a repellent on fire ants is 70% and the most effective in the first three hours. From this research, we can conclude that vinegar does have potential repellent effect on fire ants (Solenopsis sp.)
