In Indonesia, this species is known as wood-destroying pest. Damages incurred economic losses up to billions of rupiah per year. One of the technologies that can be used for controlling is nanotechnology of dodecenol pheromones. This study aims to analyze the efectveness of nanopartcle pheromone dodecenol from Body Extract (BE) and Sternal Gland Extract (SGE) for controlling Cryptotermes cynocephalus through termite feeding preference and analysis of chemical components of both. Both extracts were analyzed using GC-MS then tested bios assay Y to compare its efect on feeding behavior of termites. BE was then used as a main material to produce nanopartcle gel. The food-preference test was conducted using Petri dish assay and endurance test based on Indonesian Natonal Standard 2006. Petridis assay and endurance test in this research used 6 treatment of dodecenol nanopartcle concentraton (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) and 3 repettons. The GC-MS chromatogram results show that in the termite extract there are dodecenol compounds. Bioassay Y test showed that there was a diference between BE and SGE efect on termite adaptaton and termite (P < 0.05). The bioassay choice test of Y shows that there is a diference in the efect of BE with SGE on the behavior of termites. BE is more infuental than SGE with a signifcance level of 5%. Petridis assay shows that nanopartcle 10% maximally increases termite preference to pine wood sample indicated by mass loss 13.856%.

Economically, more than billion rupiah loses per year [1,2]. The losses which is caused by C. cynocephalus lead people al-
