Abstract
Efforts to reduce losses caused by termite attacks are require an effective and environmentally friendly method. One of the environmentally friendly termite controls can be used such as bait system using natural attractants. Plants that can be used as natural attractants include eucalyptus leaves (Melaleuca leucadendra). The purpose of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of the mixture of eucalyptus leaves, waste paper and liquid waste from tofu factory which has potential as natural attractants to control of termites and to determine the most effective composition of eucalyptus leaf, waste paper and liquid waste from tofu factory as a bio-atactant. Testing was done in two methods: No-choice test and two choice test, using five compositions of eucalyptus leaves: waste paper i.e 0%: 100% (as a control), 20%: 80, 40%: 60%, 60%: 40 %, and 80%: 20%. The results showed that the mixture of eucalyptus leaves and waste paper with composition of 40%: 60% can be used as a bio-attractant against termites (Coptotermes sp).Keywords: bio-attractant, eucalyptus leaves, waste paper, Coptotermes sp.

Summary
Hasil pengamatan yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa sampel uji mengalami kehilangan berat yang berbeda-beda. Nilai rata-rata kehilangan berat sampel uji setelah 2 minggu pengujian, disajikan dalam bentuk diagram yang dilihat pada Gambar 3. Rerata kehilangan berat sampel uji Gambar 3 menujukan kehilangan pengurangan berat terendah ditunjukan berat sampel uji tertinggi pada oleh komposisi daun kayu putih 0% dan komposisi daun kayu putih 40% dan kertas HVS 100% kehilangan berat kertas HVS 60% dengan kehilangan sebesar 7,49%
