German Cockroach Allergen Levels in North Carolina Schools: Comparison of Integrated Pest Management and Conventional Cockroach Control

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 46(3), 420–427.

By: G. Nalyanya n, J. Gore, H. Linker n & C. Schal* 

author keywords: cockroaches; cockroach allergen; Bla g.1; integrated pest management; schools
MeSH headings : Allergens / analysis; Animals; Antigens, Plant; Blattellidae / immunology; Environmental Monitoring; Insect Control / methods; North Carolina; Schools
TL;DR: Comparing the effectiveness of integrated pest management (IPM) and conventional pest control in controlling German cockroach infestations and concentrations of the cockroach allergen Bla g 1 in public school buildings shows IPM is not only effective at controlling cockroaches but also can lead to long-term reductions in cockroachAllergen concentrations, resulting in a healthier environment for students and school personnel.

2008 journal article

Effects of floral resources on fitness of the parasitoids Trichogramma exiguum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Cotesia congregata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

2006 journal article

Evaluation of a commercially available beneficial insect habitat for management of Lepidoptera pests

Journal of Economic Entomology, 99(3), 641–647.

By: L. Forehand*, D. Orr* & H. Linker*

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that natural enemy activity in organic tomatoes was not amplified, and pest populations were not reduced by the presence of a commercially available beneficial insect habitat. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Insect communities associated with beneficial insect habitat plants in North Carolina

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 35(6), 1541–1549.

By: L. Forehand n, D. Orr n & H. Linker n

author keywords: beneficial insects; beneficial insect habitat; cut flowers; commercial insect habitat
TL;DR: Overall, Good Bug Blend had the highest abundance and diversity of beneficial parasitoids, predators, and ground beetles, however, along with Border Patrol, it also harbored the highest diversity and abundance of crop-feeding herbivores. (via Semantic Scholar)

Comparison of conventional and integrated pest management programs in public schools

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 98(4), 1275–1283.

By: G. Williams n, H. Linker n, M. Waldvogel n, R. Leidy n & C. Schal n 

author keywords: school IPM; IPM; German cockroach; Blattella germanica
MeSH headings : Animals; Cockroaches; Environmental Exposure; Insecticides / analysis; North Carolina; Pest Control / economics; Pest Control / methods; Pesticide Residues / analysis; Schools / standards; Time Factors
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an IPM program is an appropriate and preferable alternative to conventional methods of pest control in the school environment and most of the conventional treatments were unnecessary. (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 journal article

Variation in biological parameters of Trichogramma spp. purchased from commercial suppliers in the United States

BIOCONTROL, 48(5), 487–502.

By: V. Schmidt n, H. Linker n, D. Orr n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: brachyptery; inundative augmentation; parasitoid; quality; Trichogramma
TL;DR: This study was undertaken to assess the degree of variation that existed among commerciallysupplied Trichogramma in an array of biological parameters that potentially may influence the level of control that can be expected in a Trichogramsma release program. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: G. Pierce n, S. Warren n, R. Mikkelsen n & H. Linker n

author keywords: large crabgrass; Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. #(3) DIGSA; calcifuge; integrated pest management; integrated weed management
TL;DR: By raising soil pH levels, the growth of large crabgrass and its ability to compete with turfgrass may be reduced and raising exchangeable Ca does not appear to be an effective management tool for control of this weed species. (via Semantic Scholar)
