professionals immediately. Considering termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage each year, effective and efficient treatment of your home is imperative. Fortunately, multiple treatment options are available. From an application of specialized pesticide to a less invasive bait treatment, choosing an option suited to your specific needs and budget is possible. After treatment, professionals can work with you on preventing a future infestation of termites and other pests. Dealing with

moths in Massachusetts during the 1800s. Residents of the Boston area became alarmed, and actions were taken to eradicate the moth. The methods used during this process ranged from manual removal of egg masses, burning infested forests, and the application of primitive insecticides. However, despite the money and efforts to get rid of the moths they continued to expand and attempts to remove them were abandoned. Since those outbreaks, they have now spread northward into southern Canada and south as

Phytoremediation: Green Technology for the Future Phytoremediation is the process by which plants and trees are used to remove or stabilize hazardous pollutants that exist in soil, sediments, surface water or groundwater. The EPA (environmental protection agency) estimates that more than 30,000 sites in the U.S. are in need of environmental treatment, and a great number of these sites are contaminated with highly toxic metals. Abandoned or under-used commercial and industrial facilities, termed

If you've just moved to California and you've bought a home, you need to learn as much as you can about a plague that has been affecting oak trees in the area since 1997: sudden oak death. This disease is primarily limited to the west coast, with heavy concentrations of outbreak in California and Oregon. It can cause seemingly healthy oaks to suddenly die and fall over. Understanding what causes this disease, its early warning signs, and treatments can help keep you from falling victim to this problem

Parathions are extremely toxic compounds, which are formed by the elements phosphorous and sulfur, and are commonly used as agricultural insecticide. According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, areas exposed to parathions result in potential peril concerning domestic animals, wildlife and humans. Noted biologist, Rachel Carson, argues against the farmers’ use of parathion to kill blackbirds because they are also harming the environments of wildlife and humans. Carson applies offensive diction, imagery

Frankenstein, frogs with three legs and mice with two heads, that’s what comes to mind for most people when they hear the word genetic engineering. But the reality of it is genetic engineering is much more than mad scientists sewing together monsters. Made by the exploits of science, genetic engineering can be used to help people in many more ways than most expect. Genetic engineering is used for anything from making enzymes to clean up oil spills that endanger our environment, to making crops

experiment answers 2 Analysis Overview I will be explaining the approved uses and doses for Malathion based on research from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the National Pesticide Information Center. I will be analyzing the possible effects of using Malathion on humans, wildlife, and the environment. I will conclude whether or not Malathion would pose any serious risks to our community and if we should use it to help control

Being able to volunteer by tabling and setting up for the FGCU Farmer’s Market has provided me with hands on applications of University Colloquium concepts and skills required in my nursing major. The FGCU Farmer’s Market is a biweekly farmer’s market bringing local farmers and small businesses onto campus, while also providing setting up and tabling via colloquium students to communicate the benefits of these markets. The core focus of University Colloquium is to explore and practice communicating

use of pest control sprays to keep out the unwanted insects. However, just like the theory of the “super weed” many insects have become more tolerable to the insecticides used in the crops like some populations of mosquitos did to the now banned pesticide DDT. Not only that, but some GE crops with insecticides have already caused unintentional harm to many non-crop damaging insects such as the monarch caterpillars. The fear is that the pollen from the GE insecticide crops will blow over to a neighboring
