Oriental control - ANSWERS-Non-Chemical Control
- inspection
- Crack crevices sealed, screens tight, good repair on structure
- good sanitation
Chemical Control
- Same as all cockroaches
- Residual baits, IGR's, liquid and/or micro encapsulated or wettable powder are
effective
Asian Cockroach - ANSWERS-- Invade homes and can establish quickly
- Found in coastal areas of SC
- Look identical to German cockroaches, but behave differently
- Outdoor pest primarily
- Pine need mulch
- fly short distances
,- during day when disturbed
- at dusk, become very active
- adults very attracted to lights reflected off of light colored walls, then rest on lighted
surfaces, lampshades, television etc.
- Light brown to tan in color
- Females slightly darker than male
Prevention/Mechanical Barriers - ANSWERS-Barriers such as screens, netting, and
protective clothing all are mechanical means to protect people from biting and nuisance
insects.
Biological Control - ANSWERS-The use of predators, parasites, and pathogens (insect
diseases) can be effective in controlling some pest species, if the beneficial organisms
can establish themselves or if a population can be maintained.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - ANSWERS-This concept uses a combination of
biological, environmental and chemical control methods
IPM- How? - ANSWERS-Controlling pests by stressing non-chemical methods is the
goal of pest management programs
IPM- Why? - ANSWERS-An IPM program seeks to maintain to maintain pest
populations below the level at which they cause problems.
IPM - ANSWERS-It is an alternative and improved approach to traditional pest
management. I uses information on the life cycles of pests and their interactions with
the environment, in combination with available pest control methods, to manage pests
by the most economical means with the least possible damage to people, property, and
the environment.
IPM- Program - ANSWERS-Under an IPM program, spraying is used ONLY when
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
,What is the difference between winged ants and termite swarmers? - ANSWERS-Thee
key features can quickly identify winged ants:
1. A pinched waist
2. Elbowed antennae

when they are crushed, smells like rotten coconut
What type of control is best for red imported fire ants? - ANSWERS-Broadcast baiting
followed by mound drenching
What is "budding"? - ANSWERS-When pharaoh ants separate into multiple colonies
due to liquid insecticide treatment
Order - ANSWERS-Group of similar families
Complete Metamorphosis - ANSWERS-Insect development consisting of four stages:
egg, larva, pupa, and adult
Castes - ANSWERS-- ants in a colony are grouped into castes based off of the tasks
they perform.
- Castes consist of workers, queens and alates.
Ant workers - ANSWERS-- Sterile females, and they make up the largest cast in the ant
colony
- The workers protect the nest against invaders, gather food, serve the queen, and care
for the young ants
, Ants (food) - ANSWERS-- Collected by foraging workers is passed mouth to mouth
among themselves and to other workers, larvae, and the queen.
- This process is the only means by which the queen and larvae of the ant colony can
obtain food
- This transfer of food is an important element in the design and effectiveness of ant
baits
Alates - ANSWERS-Winged adult fertile males and females that leave existing colonies
to establish new ones
Male ants - ANSWERS-- Found in colonies only during swarmer formation
- Sole purpose: mating, and most die soon afterwards.
Control of Ants - ANSWERS-- Usually multi-step process including
- Proper Identification
- Location of all nests
- Baiting
- Perimeter barrier treatment
- Non-chemical methods
Five Types of Ants in South Carolina that cause most problems - ANSWERS-1. Red
Imported Fire Ants
2. Argentine Ants
3. Odorous House Ants
4. Pharaoh Ants
5. Acrobat Ants
What is the series of events from egg to adult called? - ANSWERS-Lifecycle
