Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods of classifying flying insects. The methods utilize recording the wingbeat frequency and amplitude spectrum of flying insects and comparing them to known or created insect models to properly classify the flying insect. The error rate of the classification is reduced by utilizing multiple inputs to the classification system, which may include a precise circadian rhythm for the time of year, current environmental conditions, and flight velocity or direction.

Abstract

Methods and compositions in which botanical oils, such as wintergreen oil, and/or isolated methyl salicylate are combined with an attractant matrix (pellets) and applied near a nest of leaf-cutting ants. These oils possess fungicidal and fungistatic properties that destroy and inhibit growth of the ant-cultivated fungus-the ant colony's sole food source-thereby promoting destruction of the colony. These oils are also highly attractive to the ants, exerting no repellent effects, encouraging transport of the fungicidal materials into the nest and ensuring that the fungal colonies come into contact with the materials and suffer mortality.

Abstract

The present invention discloses systems and methods for controlling arthropod populations. The systems include a polymeric substrate, a semiochemical that is reactive upon an adult-stage arthropod, and an insecticide that is toxic to an immature-stage arthropod. The semiochemical may be a sex pheromone that disrupts mating behavior of the adult-stage arthropod. The insecticide may be a per os insecticide that only affects the immature-stage arthropod. The arthropod to be controlled may be gypsy moths, in which case the semiochemical may be disparlure and the insecticide may be spinosad. Further disclosed are methods for preparing systems for use in controlling arthropod populations.
