Abstract

Background The study objectives were: (1) to field test potential repellency of common essential oils against several pestiferous social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), using attractant-baited traps; (2) to identify vespid antennally active compounds from the repellent essential oils; (3) to determine potential repellency of these electroantennographic detection ( EAD) active compounds in the field. Results Of the 21 essential oils tested, 17 showed significant repellency on yellowjackets [mainly Vespula pensylvanica (Saussure)] and paper wasps [mainly Polistes dominulus (Christ)]: clove, pennyroyal, lemongrass, ylang ylang, spearmint, wintergreen, sage, rosemary, lavender, geranium, patchouli, citronella, Roman chamomile, thyme, fennel seed, anise and peppermint. Two essential oil mixtures - 3EO-mix (clove, geranium and lemongrass) and 4EO-mix (clove, geranium, lemongrass and rosemary) - totally blocked the attraction of vespid workers. Twenty-nine vespid antennally active compounds were identified from solid-phase microextraction ( SPME) samples of 11 strongly repellent essential oils by GC-EAD/ MS techniques. Among the synthetic EAD-active compounds field tested, eugenol, P/ I-menthone, pulegone, α/ β-thujone, l-carvone, E/ Z-citral, citronellal, methyl benzoate, benzyl acetate, methyl salicylate and 3-octanol showed a significant repellency on vespid workers. These compounds are likely responsible for the repellency of their corresponding essential oils. Conclusion These repellent essential oils and their active compositions have great potential for efficient, environmentally sound semiochemical-based IPM of pestiferous vespid wasps. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Insect Sticky Trap With Corrugated Surface", for Approval (USPTO 20230301291).

Abstract

Such adhesive traps are suitable for catching various flying insects including, for example, pestiferous social wasps, carpenter bees, biting flies, and nuisance flies. For example, certain adhesive traps commonly referred to as "yellow sticky cards" (also called "yellow sticky traps"), are well known adhesive traps for combatting damaging insects, and are typically an important part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program in agricultural settings. "As a part of environmentally sound pest control strategies, insect traps baited with benign semiochemicals and/or with visual attractants (for flying or walking insects) have been quite successful at attracting and trapping target insects and are known in the art.
