  • Japanese Maple Scale in the Nursery
    College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Science Cooperative Extension Japanese Maple Scale in the Nursery Karla Addesso and Adam Blalock ANR-ENT-01-2015 Scale insects are serious and damaging pests to trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. A scale infestation will reduce plant growth, vigor, and yields. There are hundreds of different species of scale and scale-like insects, but only a fraction of them are of economic concern. Some species of scale secrete a waterproof waxy shell that protects them from the environment and water based insecticides, making them difficult to control. In Tennessee nurseries, landscapes, and orchards, there are many different species of scale that you may encounter, but one of the most common and problematic is the Japanese maple scale (Lopholeucaspis japonica). Japanese Maple Scale: Japanese maple scale (JMS) is an armored scale that was first introduced to the eastern United States in the early part of the 20th century. Since then, it has spread to many areas of the country, including Tennessee. The reproductive potential of JMS is enormous. In three years, at two generations per year, a single male and female scale have the potential to spawn millions of new scales. Under Image 1 (top). The individual Japanese maple natural conditions, scale predators, parasites, disease scales are oyster-shaped, 1-2 mm long, and and sub-optimal environmental conditions prevent off-white in color. scale numbers from reaching these levels. Nursery production fields and container yards often provide Image 2 (bottom). If left, un-treated, better habitat for scales due to a lack of natural Japanese maple scale populations can increase predators from generic wide spectrum pesticide exponentially to where nearly the entire sprays, and close proximity of suitable hosts.

This means you have even more choices in your arsenal to help fight roaches. The Cockroach Control Manual is a practical reference for persons who have had little or no training in insect identification, biology or control methods. We know most people want low toxic methods used inside their homes so we are emphasizing low-risk strategies even more than in the original edition.

Avermectin, thiocyclam, and cyromazine effectively controlled L. trifolii larvae or prevented successful emergence as adults. Moderate to high levels of resistance to permethrin and chlorpyrifos were present. Avermectin caused high mortality of all larval stages and no adults successfully emerged.

  • How Insecticides Work
    Bringing information and education into the communities of the Granite State How Insecticides Work Dr. Alan T. Eaton, Extension Specialist, Entomology The variety of insecticides available today is much greater than it was 20 years ago. It includes some made from bacteria, insect- killing fungi or viruses; products such as insecticidal soaps that kill by physical processes; and products like the clay-based Surround that don’t directly kill insects, but protect plants. Most of the insecticides in common use today are toxic to people as well as well as insects, although the degree of toxicity to people depends on the dose of the material and the mechanism of action, among other factors. Some toxicants affect the nervous system. Others affect water balance, oxygen metabolism, an insect’s molting or maturation process, or other aspects of physiology. Some of the newer insecticides have toxicity mechanisms that scientists don’t fully understand. New materials are being synthesized and tested constantly. Some pesticides (even organic ones) can cause burn of plant tissues if not applied carefully. Many common insecticides in general use fit into the following Photo: Alan T. Eaton. classes: Organophosphates (OP) Chlorpyrifos and malathion are organophosphates. They interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses. Their point of action is the synapse, the tiny gap between one nerve fiber and the next. Nerve impulses jump such gaps with the aid of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Enzymes normally destroy these chemicals immediately after the nerve impulse crosses the gap. Among the most common neurotransmitters is acetylcholine, which functions in our bodies the same way as it does in insects.

  • Bed Bug Treatment Using Insecticides Dini M
    Bed Bug Treatment Using Insecticides Dini M. Miller, Ph.D., Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech Introduction The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting people from exposure to pesticides. To do this, they have very strict toxicity testing methods that chemical manufacturers must use to determine how harmful exposure to these pesticides may be to mammals (people, dogs and cats) or the environment. The test results are carefully reviewed by the EPA before a pesticide product is allowed to be sold in the United States. If a pesticide is found to be either too toxic or it lasts too long in the environment it will never be registered for use. However, those pesticides that are not long-term envi- ronmental contaminates and that have very low mammalian toxicity will be allowed to be used, under strict conditions. For instance, those pesticides that do not produce harmful effects (either acute or long-term effects) at a particular dose, will still be required to have a 100-1000-fold margin of safety before they can be used in the human environment. In other words, a product dose may be reduced 100-1000 times before it can be registered (See the Food Quality pro- tection Act for more information). As you can imagine, some pesticides may no longer kill pests at such a low dose, and never come to market. The use of those products that pass the toxicity testing and margin of safety is still restricted by the pesticide label. The pesticide label is a legal document that is attached to every pesticide.

However, they are considered pests when they interact with people, invading lawns and gardens or entering homes and other structures. More importantly, they can affect human health by spreading diseases, such as Salmonella, and ruin materials such as books, clothes and food. Cockroaches secrete an oily liquid that has an offensive and sickening odor. This odor may also be imparted to dishes that are apparently clean, food and clothes. Excrement in the form of pellets or an inklike liquid also contributes to this nauseating odor. Additionally, cockroaches produce allergens, which include their feces, shed skins, and body parts such as antennae and legs. In susceptible individuals, contact with these allergens can result in mild to severe rashes, other allergic reactions, and in extreme cases death from asthma attacks. Cockroach Species This fact sheet is excerpted from SP486: Pests in and around the Southern Home, which is available from the UF/IFAS Extension The cockroaches most commonly found in and around Bookstore. http://ifasbooks.ifas.ufl.edu/p-1222-pests-in-and-around- Florida homes are the Florida woods roach (Figure 1), the-southern-home.aspx American (Figure 2), smokybrown (Figure 3), brown (Figure 4), Australian (Figure 5), German (Figure 6) and Cockroaches have various common names including water Asian (Figure 7).
