| Abstract/Contents: | "Six treatments were evaluated as follows: Orthene and Safecide applied as dry powders over the top of active mounds, Orthene applied as a drench, Logic and Safecide baits sprinkled around the base of active mounds, and an untreated control. Each 0.2 acre circular plot was permanently marked with a an orange surveyor stake. Three applications were used for each treatment. Pretreatment counts were taken on 29 Jul in the 0.1 acre inner circle of each plot. Posttreatment counts of active mounds in the 0.1 acre inner circle were made on 6 Aug, 25 Aug, 3 Sep, and 20 Oct. Treatments were initiated at 7:30 AM on 29 Jul. The average soil temperature was 90 degrees F. Both Orthene treatments gave excellent control after one week. The Logic and Safecide powder treatments afforded 50% and 54% control, respectively, at the six week posttreatment evaluaiton." |
