Comparison of efficacy of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides: Effect of active ingredients, type of formulation and commercial suppliers
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-10-16)
The lack of a standardized protocol makes it difficult to compare studies on the efficacy of commercial rodenticides. To contribute to the knowledge of pest control technology, we compared the efficacy of 17 commercial ...
Behavioural responses of Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) wasps exposed to essential oils
(Blackwell Publishing, 2015-12-01)
Secondary plant metabolites such as those present in essential oils can be toxic to herbivorous insects and also repel attack, given they play a role in selection and acceptance of host plants. However, few studies have ...
Neuroethology of olfactory-guided behavior and its potential application in the control of harmful insects
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-06)
Harmful insects include pests of crops and storage goods, and vectors of human and animal diseases. Throughout their history, humans have been fighting them using diverse methods. The fairly recent development of synthetic ...

Post-Control Surveillance of Triatoma infestans and Triatoma sordida with Chemically-Baited Sticky Traps
(Public Library of Science, 2012-09)
Background: Chagas disease prevention critically depends on keeping houses free of triatomine vectors. Insecticide spraying is very effective, but re-infestation of treated dwellings is commonplace. Early detection-elimination ...
Heptyl butyrate, a putative pheromone involved in social communication of Vespula germanica wasps
(2018-02)
Greater knowledge on the social communication of invasive Vespula germanica wasps is needed to fully understand their foraging behavior. This is particularly valuable considering that poison baiting is currently the only ...
Trapping success and flight behavior of two parasitoid species of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio
(Elsevier, 2019-04-19)
Classical biological control relies on the deliberate introduction of natural enemies to reduce pest populations below damage thresholds. Knowledge on key aspects of the behavior of antagonists and their population densities ...
