Ground Surface Non-Edible Foraging Matrix Configurations For Arthropod Control

View page
US Patent:
6606816, Aug 19, 2003
Filed:
Mar 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/097813
Inventors:
Faith M. Oi - Gainesville FL
Philip G. Koehler - Gainesville FL
Assignee:
University of Florida - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A01M 120
US Classification:
43131, 431321, 43107, 43124, 43121, 106 1505, 424411, 424 84
Abstract:
Surface ground kits for controlling arthropods such as termites, carpenter ants, fire ants, roaches, and the like, and combinations thereof. Embodiments can include mounting a chamber on a ground insertable member having an edible food source, such as a wood stake, and pressing the member into the ground until the chamber is against the ground surface. The chamber can be cylindrical disc shape having one closed end and closed sides, such as plastic cup, Petri dish, and the like. Optionally, the chamber can be non-opaque so that the interior contents can be viewed from outside the chamber. The lower open end of the chamber can be a layer of an edible non-toxic material such as a layer of foam, and the like. On top of the edible layer, can be a layer of a non-edible foraging matrix that contains the slow-acting non-repellent toxicant within the foraging matrix, and this layer can be visible through the top closed portion of the chamber. Arthropods can be attracted to the kit device by the edible portion of the ground insertable member.

Below Ground Non-Edible Foraging Matrix Configurations For Arthropod Control

View page
US Patent:
6637150, Oct 28, 2003
Filed:
Aug 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/942341
Inventors:
Faith M. Oi - Gainesville FL
Philip G. Koehler - Gainesville FL
Assignee:
University of Florida - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A01M 120
US Classification:
43131, 431321, 43107, 43124, 43121, 106 1505, 424411, 424 84
Abstract:
Below ground kits for controlling arthropods such as termites, ants, and roaches. A first embodiment fills a chamber with a food and places it adjacent to an arthropod population such as termites, so that live termites can then enter the entrance/exit of the tube to reach the food. Once termites are inside the tube, a non-edible foraging matrix, such as a disc of loose soil, sand, rocks, shale, and gravel that is treated with a slow acting and non-repellant toxicant, is placed between the food in the chamber and the termite entrance/exit. Termites are forced to pass through and disperse the slow-acting and non-repellent toxicant through their tunnels and living space in order to kill termites over time.

Alternating Layer Non-Edible Foraging Matrix Configurations For Crawling Arthropods

US Patent:
6928770, Aug 16, 2005
Filed:
Jul 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/613405
Inventors:
Faith M. Oi - Gainesville FL, US
Philip G. Koehler - Gainesville FL, US
Assignee:
University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A01M001/20
US Classification:
43131, 431321, 43107, 43124, 43121, 106 1505, 424411, 424 84
Abstract:
Below ground kits, methods, apparatus and configurations for controlling arthropods such as termites, ants, and roaches. An embodiment has alternating layers of a first layer consisting of a mixture of a non-edible foraging matrix mixed with a slow-acting and non-repellant toxicant, where the first layer is adjacent to another layer of non-toxic edible/attractant materials allow for the treatment of different arthropods. The non-edible foraging matrix can be selected from at least one of: soil, gravel, rocks, pebbles, shale, and mixtures thereof. The nontoxic layer can include materials such as foam and cellulose. Different arthropods such as termites, fire ants, carpenter ants, and roaches can be treated with the subject embodiments.

Carbohydrate Based Cellulase Inhibitors As Feeding Stimulants In Termites

View page
US Patent:
20080107619, May 8, 2008
Filed:
Oct 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/975314
Inventors:
Michael E. Scharf - Gainesville FL, US
Xuguo Zhou - High Springs FL, US
Faith M. Oi - Gainesville FL, US
Marsha M. Wheeler - Gainesville FL, US
Assignee:
University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A01N 43/16
A01N 33/18
A01N 43/50
US Classification:
424 84
Abstract:
A method, composition and system for controlling termites wherein single carbohydrate-based compounds are used as both cellulase inhibitors and feeding stimulants. Di-saccharides, cellobioimidazole (CBI), fluoro-methyl cellobiose (FMCB), and mono-saccharides, fluoro-methyl glucose (FMG) and analogs thereof inhibit termite cellulose digestion, which leads to starvation or stimulates termite feeding to cause mortality. CBI, FMCB and FMG were tested against enzyme fractions that represented endogenous (foregut/salivary gland/midgut) and symbiotic (hindgut) termite cellulases in vitro and in vivo. Feeding stimulation by di-saccharides results in greater cellulase inhibitor intake throughout midrange concentrations (1 mM-10 mM), which is associated with significant termite mortality. In contrast, the monosaccharide inhibitor, FMG did not stimulate feeding, but did inhibit feeding at concentrations above 1 mM, causing mortality. With modification to create longer β-glycosidic chain lengths, the cellulase inhibitors identified herein can also be targeted to endoglucanase activity for increased efficacy and use as novel termite control compositions.

Non-Edible Foraging Matrix Insert For Subterranean Termite Control

View page
US Patent:
62985973, Oct 9, 2001
Filed:
Mar 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/525086
Inventors:
Philip G. Koehler - Gainesville FL
Faith M. Oi - Gainesville FL
Assignee:
University of Florida - Gainesville FL
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
A01M 120
US Classification:
43131
Abstract:
A termite control system kit. A several step process starts with taking a tube with a removal cap at one end, such as a two to four inch PVC tube, and filling the inner chamber with a food source such as rolled cardboard. The tube is then placed with its open end adjacent to a termite population so that live termites can then enter the entrance/exit of the tube to reach the food source. Once termites are inside the tube, the cap is removed from the tube, and a non-edible foraging matrix, such as a disc of loose soil and or sand that is treated with a slow acting and non-repellant toxicant, is placed between the food source in the chamber and the termite entrance/exit of the chamber. Slow acting and non-repellent toxicants can be non-immediate lethal doses of fipronil, chlorfenapyr, imidacloprid, and chlorpyrifos. The termites are then forced to pass through and disperse the slow-acting and non-repellent toxicant on soil particles or other non-edible foraging matrices through their tunnels and living space in order to kill termites.
