The current study evaluated the potential of termite cuticular extract to improve the efficacy of commercial bait used for controlling invasive Asian needle ants. Results of laboratory trials demonstrate that the attractiveness of commercial bait is significantly increased by the addition of termite cuticular extract.

Selective toxicityof acetamiprid and fipronil as a part of insecticidal baits
Monocomponent and combined insecticidal baits containing acetamiprid and fipronil are proposed to control the housefly Musca domestica at livestock facilities. The combination of active ingredients increases the insecticidal activity of formulations and simultaneously may lead to an increase in their toxicity to animals. The purpose of this work was to

Controlling yellow jackets with fipronil-based protein baits in urban recreational areas [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe western yellow jacket, Vespula penyslvanica (Saussare), is a serious seasonal pest of outdoor venues in the western United States. In the spring, queens and low numbers of workers were captured in heptyl-butyrate-baited traps until early July, when the number of foragers dramatically increased.

The use of Attractive Toxic Baits (ATBs) is considered to be a low-risk practical method for controlling cockroaches. This study evaluates the attractiveness of a lab-made, fipronil-containing bait, and its effect on the food consumption and mortality of the German cockroach Blattella germanica, under field and laboratory conditions.

Abstract Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to global health and biodiversity. Yet, predicting the spatiotemporal dynamics of wildlife epizootics remains challenging. Disease outbreaks result from complex nonlinear interactions among a large collection of variables that rarely adhere to the assumptions of parametric regression modeling.
