Abstract
Non-woven fabrics with clothianidin（TakelockTMNW）has been developed. A physical barrier of the original non-woven fabrics against termites was evaluated in laboratory studies and the termiticidal activity of TakelockTMNW was evaluated in laboratory and field studies. TakelockTMNW can effectively prevent and exterminate termites because it extends the contact time between termites and clothianidin due to its fiber structure that makes termites lose their balance. Also, TakelockTMNW can be easily spread, cut and connected together like cloth and can be used to plug in a hole like a sponge. Moreover, TakelockTMNW is allowed to be fixed by cement because clothianidin on TakelockTMNW is microcapsulated and has alkali resistance.
