متن کاملSurvivability of the Subterranean Termite Heterotermes aureus (Snyder) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) When Exposure to Different Temperatures and Relative Humidity
Survivability of Heterotermes aureus (Snyder) was tested under varying temperature and relative humidity regimes in laboratory incubators over seven day periods. Initial tests showed that RH had a strong influence on H. aureus survival. Survival was significantly higher (P<.05) at 90% RH than 50% RH when held at a constant temperature of 29.4 o C. Four temperatures were tested at a constant RH ...
متن کاملEffect of tolerance to insecticides on substrate penetration by Formosan subterranean termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).
Seven selected insecticides were applied to three substrates and bioassayed for barrier efficacy and toxicity against the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, originating from colonies that differed in their tolerance to the insecticides. A profound substrate effect was seen with all insecticides tested. Sand was the most difficult substrate to penetrate and caused fas...
متن کاملEffect of imidacloprid soil treatments on occurrence of Formosan subterranean termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in independent monitors.
Periodic sampling of 30 independent monitors, initially active with the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, was conducted to evaluate the effects of soil treated with imidacloprid on nearby termite activity. Monitors were located adjacent (1-3 m) to the buildings. Soil around and under the buildings was treated with 0.05% imidacloprid. None of the termites collected s...
متن کاملRepellency of Formosan Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) to Dead Termites and Attraction to 2-Phenoxyethanol With and Without Nonrepellent Insecticides
The response of the Formosan subterranean termite to both dead termites and 2-phenoxyethanol with and without nonrepellent insecticide residues was examined using three commercially available pesticide formulations (acetamiprid, fipronil, and imidacloprid). Results indicated that significantly more search tunnels were constructed in the 2-phenoxyethanol-treated sand with three different insecti...
