  • Control Cockroaches in the Home Control Cockroaches in the Home
    PB1024 CONTROL COCKROACHES IN THE HOME CONTROL COCKROACHES IN THE HOME by Harry E. Williams, Professor Entomology and Plant Pathology Cockroaches are the number one pest in homes or other buildings They have successfully adapted to living wherever people live and are common on ships, in warehouses, restaurants, stores, apartments, offices, hotels and one-family dwellings. In fact, cockroaches are often the first occupant in a new building. Cockroaches are frequently carried into buildings in bags or boxes. They can live outside in water meters, garbage dumps or sewage systems and then migrate into buildings. Cockroaches hide in sheltered, dark places during the day. Because they avoid light, they may not be detected in a home for months. Most homes have many cracks or crevices where they hide. At night, cockroaches leave their hiding places to seek out food and water. If a light is turned on, they will run rapidly for shelter, disappearing through openings into their hiding places. Cockroaches can carry bacteria, fungi and filth on their legs and bodies. Their habit of hiding in empty spaces and moving under cover of darkness carrying bacteria is a health menace. They may pollute food or cooking utensils with this filth. Description Cockroaches have a broad, flattened shape and six long legs. They are dark drown, reddish- brown, light brown or black. The adults of most species have wings. The male Oriental cockroach has wings which cover only part of the back. The female's wings are reduced to small pads. The young cockroach is called a nymph. It looks like the adult, except it is smaller and has no wings.

  • Overview and Current Status of Non-Native Termites (Isoptera) in Florida§
    Scheffrahn: Non-Native Termites in Florida 781 OVERVIEW AND CURRENT STATUS OF NON-NATIVE TERMITES (ISOPTERA) IN FLORIDA§ Rudolf H. Scheffrahn University of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Research & Education Center, 3205 College Avenue, Davie, Florida 33314, U.S.A E-mail; [email protected] §Summarized from a presentation and discussions at the “Native or Invasive - Florida Harbors Everyone” Symposium at the Annual Meeting of the Florida Entomological Society, 24 July 2012, Jupiter, Florida. ABSTRACT The origins and status of the non-endemic termite species established in Florida are re- viewed including Cryptotermes brevis and Incisitermes minor (Kalotermitidae), Coptotermes formosanus, Co. gestroi, and Heterotermes sp. (Rhinotermitidae), and Nasutitermes corniger (Termitidae). A lone colony of Marginitermes hubbardi (Kalotermitidae) collected near Tam- pa was destroyed in 2002. A mature colony of an arboreal exotic, Nasutitermes acajutlae, was destroyed aboard a dry docked sailboat in Fort Pierce in 2012. Records used in this study were obtained entirely from voucher specimen data maintained in the University of Flori- da Termite Collection. Current distribution maps of each species in Florida are presented. Invasion history suggests that established populations of exotic termites, without human intervention, will continue to spread and flourish unabatedly in Florida within climatically suitable regions. Key Words: Isoptera, Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae, Termitidae, non-endemic RESUMEN Se revisa el origen y el estatus de las especies de termitas no endémicas establecidas en la Florida incluyendo Cryptotermes brevis y Incisitermes menor (Familia Kalotermitidae); Coptotermes formosanus, Co. gestroi y Heterotermes sp. (Familia Rhinotermitidae) y Nasu- titermes corniger (Familia Termitidae). Una colonia individual de Marginitermes hubbardi revisada cerca de Tampa fue destruida en 2002.

  • Termites (Isoptera) in the Azores: an Overview of the Four Invasive Species Currently Present in the Archipelago
    Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences ISSN: 0873-4704 Termites (Isoptera) in the Azores: an overview of the four invasive species currently present in the archipelago MARIA TERESA FERREIRA ET AL. Ferreira, M.T., P.A.V. Borges, L. Nunes, T.G. Myles, O. Guerreiro & R.H. Schef- frahn 2013. Termites (Isoptera) in the Azores: an overview of the four invasive species currently present in the archipelago. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 30: 39-55. In this contribution we summarize the current status of the known termites of the Azores (North Atlantic; 37-40° N, 25-31° W). Since 2000, four species of termites have been iden- tified in the Azorean archipelago. These are spreading throughout the islands and becoming common structural and agricultural pests. Two termites of the Kalotermitidae family, Cryp- totermes brevis (Walker) and Kalotermes flavicollis (Fabricius) are found on six and three of the islands, respectively. The other two species, the subterranean termites Reticulitermes grassei Clemént and R. flavipes (Kollar) of the Rhinotermitidae family are found only in confined areas of the cities of Horta (Faial) and Praia da Vitória (Terceira) respectively. Due to its location and weather conditions the Azorean archipelago is vulnerable to coloni- zation by invasive species. The fact that there are four different species of termites in the Azores, all of them considered pests, is a matter of concern. Here we present a comparative description of these species, their known distribution in the archipelago, which control measures are being used against them, and what can be done in the future to eradicate and control these pests in the Azores.

  • Effect of Increased Soil Moisture and Reduced Soil Temperature on a Desert Soil Arthropod Community
    Effect of Increased Soil Moisture and Reduced Soil Temperature on a Desert Soil Arthropod Community WILLIAM P. MACKAY, SOLANGE SILVA, DAVID C. LIGHTFOOT, MARIA INEZ PAGANI and WALTER G. WHITFORD' Department of Biology, Box 3AFJ New Mexico State University, Las Cruces 88003 ABSTRACT: The effects of soil moisture and temperature on arthropod communi- ties were experimentally examined in the northern Chihuahuan Desert of New Mex- ico. Shaded plots were established which lowered the soil temperature several degrees; some plots received artificial rainfall to increase soil moisture. Shading reduced soil temperature at 5-cm depth 7-10 C. Soil moisture at 5 cm accounted for most of the variation in surface activity of subterranean termites (r values between 0.3 and 0.7). Termites did not respond to temperature differences. When all soils were at field capacity, there was no difference in termite activity in shaded and unshaded plots. There were higher densities of mi- croarthropods in litter bags on the shaded plots than on the unshaded plots. Numbers of microarthropods were an order of magnitude larger in litter bags on watered and shaded plots than on other plots. Lower litter temperatures apparently affect litter ar- thropods more than increased soil moisture. Shade had no effect on ant colonies but there were fewer colonies on the watered plots. There was between 40 to 50% mass loss from creosotebush leaf litter after 7 months on all plots. Water and soil temperature had no effect on decomposition rates. INTRODUCTION Temperature extremes and water availability are considered to be the most impor- tant factors limiting production, activity of desert organisms and ecosystem processes in deserts (Noy-Meir, 1973, 1974; Whitford et al., 1981, Whitford et al., 1983).
