Abstract

In this study, we investigated the applicability of a termiticide based on metofluthrin for termite control on traditional wooden buildings. To evaluate their mortality, termites were exposed to the agent, diluted to various concentrations, for seven days; it was found that it had a sufficient insecticidal effect although there was a difference depending on the degree of agent dilution. Next, the effect on Dancheong, used in traditional wooden structures, was measured based on the color change according to the number of agent treatments. The results showed that only the color difference value of two pigments (i.e., Bun and Juhong) was measured as 3.0 or higher. However, there this varied according to the dilution ratio. Thus, it was found that most pigments had little effect on the color of Dancheong. Finally, the termiticidal efficacy of the agent when applied to wood was evaluated. We found that the specimens coated with 10-fold and 20-fold dilutions exhibited 2.83 and 6.28% mass loss, respectively. The 10-fold dilution satisfied the performance of termiticide as a mass loss of less than 3%. In conclusion, the metofluthrin-based agent used in this study has little effect on various Dancheong pigments and has a termiticidal effect against termites; it is therefore suggested that it may be used in preserving traditional wooden cultural properties in Korea.

본 연구에서는 전통 목조건축물 적용을 위하여 살충제 주성분으로 사용되는 metofluthrin을 주성분으로 한 약제의 방의효력 및 단청 영향 평가를 실시하였다. 약제의 흰개미 사충효력을 평가하기 위하여 다양한 농도로 희석한 약제에 흰개미를 7일간 노출하였다. 그 결과, 약제 희석 정도에 따라 차이는 있었으나, 약제의 사충효력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 전통 목조건축물에 사용되고 있는 단청에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 약제 도포 횟수에 따른 단청의 재색 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 희석 배율에 따른 차이는 있었으나 2 종류의 안료(분, 주홍)에서만 색차 값이 3.0 이상으로 측정되었다. 즉, 대부분의 안료가 단청 재색에 영향이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 목재 적용 시 약제의 흰개미 방의효력을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 10배와 20배 희석액을 도포한 시험편은 각각 2.83%, 6.28%로 낮은 질량감소율을 보였으며, 10배 희석액은 3% 미만의 질량감소율로 방의제 성능 기준을 충족하였다. 결과적으로, 본 실험에서 사용된 metofluthrin계 약제는 다양한 단청안료에 미치는 영향이 적을 뿐만 아니라 국내 전역에 분포하고 있는 Reticulitermes speratus에 방의효력을 갖기 때문에 국내 전통 목조문화재의 보존에 유용할 것으로 생각된다.
