Penelitian tentang inventarisasi rayap yang menyerang bangunan dan perabotan pada kawasan kampus di Kota Banda Aceh telah dilakukan pada Februari hingga Juni 2022. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk menginventarisasi jenis rayap yang menyerang kawasan kampus di Kota Banda Aceh. Metode purposive sampling digunakan untuk pemilihan lokasi penelitian. Penelitian telah dilakukan di Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK), Universitas Muhammadiyah Aceh (UNMUHA), Universitas Serambi Mekkah (USM), Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry (UINAR) dan Universitas Bina Bangsa Getsempena (UBBG). Pengkoleksian rayap menggunakan metode koleksi koloni yaitu dengan mengoleksi 10 individu dari kasta prajurit dan 10 individu dari kasta pekerja dalam satu koloni. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat dua famili yaitu Rhinotermitidae dan Termitidae, serta tiga spesies rayap diantaranya Microtermes pakistanicus Ahmad, Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren, dan Nasutitermes matangensis Haviland. Jumlah total koloni yang dikoleksi pada kawasan kampus sebanyak 74 koloni, terdiri atas Microtermitinae sebanyak 53 koloni, Coptotermitinae 17 koloni, dan Nasutitermitinae 4 koloni. Kondisi komponen bangunan dan vegetasi yang tidak terawat di kawasan kampus sangat berpotensi menjadi tempat hidup dan berkembang berbagai jenis rayap.

The research about inventory of termites that attack buildings and furniture on the campus area in Banda Aceh was conducted from February to June 2022. The purpose of this research was to inventory of termites that attack the campus area in Banda Aceh. The purposive sampling method was used for selecting the research site. The research was conducted at Syiah Kuala University (USK), University of Muhammadiyah Aceh (UNMUHA), Serambi Mekkah University (USM), Islamic University of Ar-Raniry (UINAR) and University of Bina Bangsa Getsempena (UBBG). The collection of termites used the colony collection method, namely by collecting 10 individuals from the soldier and 10 individuals from the worker castes in one colony. The results showed that there were two families of Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae consisting of three species such as Microtermes pakistanicus Ahmad, Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren, and Nasutitermes matangensis Haviland. The total number of colonies collected on campus area was 74 colonies, consisting of 53 colonies of Microterminitinae, 17 colonies of Coptotermitinae, and 4 colonies of Nasutitermitinae. The condition of building components/materials and vegetation that are not maintained in the campus area has the potential to become a place to live and develop various species of termites.
