A quantitative analysis of a modified feeding method for rearing Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) in the laboratory Publish Date: 2013-03-18 Author/Source: Chin-Heady E, DeMark JJ, Nolting S, Bennett G, Saltzmann K, Hamm RL. Description: A modified artificial feeding system was developed for rearing Cimex lectularius and compared with the most widely used artificial feeding method which requires custom-made glassware and a circulating water bath to warm the blood. The petri dish method reduces some of the drawbacks from the current water bath method, such as the possibility of flooding bed bug rearing jars with water or blood and the need for expensive custom-made glassware.

More and bigger queens: a clue to the invasive success of the Argentine ant (Hyme no - ptera: Formicidae) in natural habitats Publish Date: 2013-03 Author/Source: Sílvia A BRIL , Mireia D ÍAZ , Martha L. E NRÍQUEZ & Crisanto G ÓMEZ Description: we provide new data on the queens' biological and physiological characteristics in Linepithema humile ( M AYR , 1868) colonies from both the invasion front (contact area) and the tota lly invaded area (invaded area) in order to ex am ine the differences between them. We analyze: 1) queen densities per liter of nest soil, 2) fat content (%), 3) oviposition rates , and 4) the queen / worker thorax volume ratios of individuals from nests si tuated in the contact and invaded zones. All these parameters are good estimators of the invasive capabilities of colonies, as they are related to dispersion speed and successful colony foundation. |

Resurgence of Bed Bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) in Mainland China Publish Date: 2013-03 Author/Source: Lei Wang , Yijuan Xu , Ling Zeng Description: We conducted a literature review and an internet search using the key word, bed bugs, to evaluate the status of bed bug resurgence in China. The results showed that the occurrence of bed bugs dramatically increased from 4 reports in 2007 to 67 in 2012. Bed bug infestations were reported from 23 provinces of China, with the most severe infestations occurring in Guangdong Province. State/Region: International |

Field Evaluations of Subterranean Termite Preference for Sap-Stain Inoculated Wood Publish Date: 2013-02-05 Author/Source: Nathan S. Little, Tor P. Schultz, Susan V. Diehl, Darrel D. Nicholas, Andrew J. Londo, Fred R. Musser, John J. Riggins Description: Field stake tests were employed at four locations throughout Mississippi to determine the feeding preference of subterranean termites for blue-stained, unstained, and partially decayed southern pine sapwood stakes. This study also utilized wood decayed by Gloeophyllum trabeum, a fungus previously shown to elicit a positive subterranean termite feeding response, as a positive control State: Mississippi |

Evaluation of an insecticide dust band treatment method for controlling bed bugs Publish Date: 2013-02 Author/Source: Wang C, Singh N, Cooper R, Liu C, Buczkowski G Description: Current bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., control usually involves insecticide applications that pose a high risk of insecticide exposure to residents and applicators. To minimize these risks and the amount of insecticides used, we designed and evaluated a dust band treatment technique. State/Region: National |

Mulch Preferences of the Asian Cockroach (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) Publish Date: 2013-02 Author/Source: Edward T. Snoddy and Arthur G. Appel Description: ulch preferences of the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai Mizukubo, were determined in a series of laboratory experiments. Because this species is a peridomestic pest, mulch preferences may be a key part of an integrated pest management program for homeowners.

Recent range expansion of the Argentine ant in Japan Publish Date: 2013-01 Author/Source: Maki N. Inoue,Eiriki Sunamura, Elissa L. Suhr, Fuminori Ito, Sadahiro Tatsuki, Koichi Goka Description: The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, has been spreading via human activities from its native range in South America across much of the globe for more than a century. This invasive ant was first detected in Japan in 1993. Its successful world-wide expansion is attributed to a social structure, namely supercoloniality, whereby individuals from separate nests cooperate. State/Region: International |

Asymmetrical behavioral response towards two boron toxicants depends on the ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Publish Date: 2013 Author/Source: Sola F, Falibene A, Josens R Description: In this study, we compared the feeding response of ants toward two boron toxic baits (boric acid and borax) in low motivation situations that enhance any possible phago-deterrence the baits may produce. Most studies investigating bait ingestion evaluate whole nests or groups of ants; here, we analyzed the individual ingestion behavior and mortality of the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), and the carpenter ant, Camponotus mus (Roger), for two boron baits, to detect which compound generates a higher rejection in each of these species.
