The quality and quantity of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from insects are extremely important in genomic research. We tested the hypothesis that DNA can be extracted from bed bugs when stored in different preservatives at various temperatures. The bed bugs were stored in five preservatives ...

Limited data exist on foraging, agonistic and feeding behavior of subterranean termites of the same species but from different colonies. We conducted research to determine if subterranean termites, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) from different colonies may express unusual foraging, agonistic and f...

This research was conducted to determine biological activity of Phantom SC (chlorfenapyr) on wood, concrete, and vinyl surfaces. The experimental design was a 3 x 3 x 3 factorial (3 treatments, 3 surfaces, and 3 insect-pests). Each experimental unit consisted of a rigid-plastic cage (109 x 49.5 x 17...

The distribution of cypermethrin (Demon@) affected by formulations and surfactants in a sandy loam soil was determined. Eight treatments consisted of Demon TC (25.3 % cypermethrin, emulsifiable concentrate) or Demon Wettable Powder (40.0% cypermethrin) with 0.25% A1 concentration mixed with or witho...
