The federal Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing to spray toxic insecticides within treasured and significant landscapes of the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona to kill native grasshoppers.

The areas being considered include portions of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, and the newly designated Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.

“This is a dangerous plan that could kill creatures that are key to northern Arizona’s unique biodiversity, which these national monuments were designated to protect,” said Taylor McKinnon, Southwest director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The federal government needs to stop downplaying the extinction crisis and back off its reckless plan to smother biodiversity hotspots with toxic pesticides.”

One out of every 10 plant species in the Colorado Plateau region is found nowhere else on Earth.

The agency's draft environmental assessment omits mention of the national monuments and unique species and habitats they were designated to protect. These species include rare bees, butterflies and other creatures found nowhere else, like the Kaibab monkey grasshopper and House Rock Valley chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, specifically named in the August proclamation establishing the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni National Monument.

APHIS oversees and funds the application of multiple pesticides on rangelands to prevent native grasshoppers and Mormon crickets from competing with livestock for forage.

The proposed insecticides — carbaryl, diflubenzuron and chlorantraniliprole — are indiscriminate. In addition to the grasshoppers the agency is targeting, the insecticides can also kill bees, moths and other insects. Spraying can harm entire ecosystems by disrupting pollination and can harm populations of birds, reptiles and mammals who feed on grasshoppers and insects.

Although grasshoppers and Mormon crickets can be locally abundant from time to time, native plants and other wildlife evolved with these cycles. Introducing pesticides to eliminate native grasshoppers is a shortsighted, quick fix that fails to consider the complex interrelationships within these delicate ecosystems.

The agency’s draft analysis shows that it has failed to consult with affected Tribes with ties to the Grand Canyon area. The Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition, which proposed the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni National Monument, includes members of the Havasupai Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Las Vegas Tribe of Paiutes, Moapa Band of Paiute Indians, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Shivwits Band of Paiutes, Navajo Nation, San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, Yavapai-Apache Nation, Zuni Tribe and Colorado River Indian Tribes.

“It’s so important that APHIS honor the promise made to work together with Tribal nations to protect the sacred spaces and resources within the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Monument when it was established less than six months ago,” said Sharon Selvaggio, pesticide program specialist with The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. “We call on the agency to protect natural systems on Tribal and public lands by employing nonchemical management that allows humans and wildlife to thrive.”

In March 2023 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published a draft biological opinion from NOAA Fisheries showing that carbaryl is likely to jeopardize 37 species protected under the Endangered Species Act, and harm 36 designated critical habitats.

While Arizona is not home to any of the species named in that report, the findings show the extreme harm carbaryl poses to endangered fish and other species.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is charged with protecting endangered plants and animals, has not yet completed a proper analysis of the potential harms from the APHIS proposal. Potentially vulnerable endangered species in Arizona include Chiricahua leopard frogs, western yellow-billed cuckoos, Gila chub, black-footed ferrets and Siler pincushion cacti.

APHIS is accepting comments on the proposal until 4 p.m. MST on Feb. 2.

How Environmental Factors Influence Cancer Risk

For many types of cancers, the exact cause is unknown. Doctors state that DNA changes or mutations cause cells in the body to grow abnormally and divide, leading to cancer. While family history is a major risk factor for cancer, environmental factors are equally responsible. 

If you suspect you have increased cancer risk, consult a medical expert for health evaluation (checkup). Visit the top cancer hospital in Siliguri, Hope & Heal Cancer Hospital and Research Centre. 

DNA damage can result from environmental exposures, like tobacco smoke, radon gas, or UV rays. Certain cancer-causing exposures, like tobacco smoke, and UV radiation are often easy to avoid. 

However, some cancer-causing substances are more difficult to avoid. It happens when these are present in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, or work. 

Let’s understand how environmental factors can increase cancer risk

Lifestyle 

One of the most frequent environmental factors responsible for cancer risk is your lifestyle choices. These include your diet, physical activity, tobacco smoking, and alcohol intake.

A diet high in processed foods, ultra-processed foods, fast foods, overcooked foods, sugar, refined carbohydrates, and red meats, and low in fruits and vegetables may increase cancer risk.

Cooking meats in high temperatures, or burning and grilling these partially can release chemicals that can be carcinogenic. Plus, digesting this food can trigger the Alkylating process known to damage DNA. 

Here, diets rich in antioxidants, fiber, folate, Vitamins, minerals, etc. found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains can reduce cancer risk.

Physical Activity

Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, while obesity increases inflammation. With routine exercise, you can reduce your risk of various cancers, including breast, colon, bowel, kidney, stomach, liver, lung, and endometrial cancer.

Smoking: Tobacco smoking is one of the most well-known risk factors for lung cancer. Tobacco contains numerous carcinogens causing changes in DNA. Smoking can increase the risk of mouth, throat, pancreas, bladder, breast, uterine and cervical cancer. 

Cigarette smoking includes more than 60 known carcinogens, such as benzene, PAH, ethylene oxide, N-nitrosamines, aldehydes, and further. 

Consult your doctor at the top cancer hospital in Siliguri for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. 

Alcohol Consumption

More commonly, moderate to excessive alcohol intake can increase cancer risk, such as cancers of the mouth, throat, breast, liver, esophagus, colon, rectum, etc. But it doesn’t mean a small amount of alcohol is safe. 

Because alcohol acts as a solvent, it helps harmful chemicals to enter your cells. Next, it is metabolized into acetaldehyde, which is a toxic compound damaging DNA.

Contact with Chemicals

Exposure to some chemicals, whether in the workplace or the environment, may increase cancer risk. Such chemicals may be present in industrial settings where you work, in your household products, and pollution.

Industrial Chemicals

Industries like manufacturing, mining, and agriculture might include carcinogenic materials. These can be rado, asbestos, arsenic, benzene, acrylamide, propylene oxide, trichloroethylene, styrene-7, or 8-oxide. 

Pesticides and Herbicides

Agricultural workers might have a risk of lung cancer, prostate cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma due to harmful pesticides and herbicides. These include Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Atrazine, Primicarb, Glyphosate, DDT, Fenoxycarb, and further. 

Air and Water Pollution

Environmental pollutants such as particulate matter, radon gas, arsenic, or cadmium can put one at cancer risk. Both air and water pollution increase the chance of lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, etc. 

Radiation 

Radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing) is a major environmental risk factor for cancer of many types.

Ionizing Radiation

This type of radiation mainly includes gamma rays, X-rays, and radioactive particles, which might affect DNA. 

Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation

Prolonged exposure to UV radiation from the sun is a potential risk factor for skin cancers, such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. 

Other environmental cancer risk factors include:

Human papillomavirus (HPV)

Helicobacter pylori infection

Parasites

Growing awareness, prevention, education, and ongoing research can help reduce the risk of getting cancer due to environmental reasons. Reach out to one of the best cancer hospitals in Siliguri city. See your medical expert or ask for screening, vaccination, and preventive measures.

🇦🇺 PEST ALERT 🇦🇺

If you see this post please reblog to warn those in the affected area.

What: Red Shouldered Leaf Beetle

Small yellow colored beetles with a rounded body, red stripe across the ‘shoulders’ and 1 red spot on each side of the body.

Where: Hunter Valley Region, New South Wales, Australia

Info: These beetles usually congregate in the spring and summer months however likely as a result of the effects of climate change they are still VERY prevalent now in autumn (this post made 24th March 2024). They are also present in SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER NUMBERS.

This insect is considered an agricultural pest as they will consume the leaves, particularly new growth of plants such as agricultural crops, fruit trees, shrubs and hedges to name a few.

You may notice hundreds or even thousands of small insects flying around. Affected plants will show brown leaves that may be curled or disintegrating with a multitude of small holes in them, affected leaves will particularly be around the outer edges of the plants.

In large enough numbers like we’re seeing here now they CAN kill a plant they attack.

I would liken them in the numbers they’re at currently as a swarm of very small very voracious locusts.

They are difficult to get rid of as they have no known natural predators so you can’t deal with them by introducing ladybeetles or mantis like you can do with aphids and some other pest insects.

They can complete a life cycle very quickly so they will reproduce and grow in number rapidly.

Pest sprays that seem to have an effectiveness against these insects are trichlorfon or carbaryl.

Be aware that when disturbed (which can be triggered simply by your presence nearby) they WILL TAKE FLIGHT and MANG will head for you. When dealing with these insects you may want to take precautions by wearing eye protection and covering your nose, mouth and ears to avoid any inadvertently ending up in there.

These things are tiny but they are a nightmare to deal with.

EDIT:

Control method found.

PYRETHRUM will take these out quick and in large numbers. If you see damage move fast because in their normal numbers a feeding swarm can do major damage in 2-3 hours but in the numbers they’re at here now they can do that damage faster.

Pay particular attention if you grow any sort of berry or avocado as those are favourites of the species. THEY WILL ALSO ATTACK SUCCULENTS. I’ve just found swarms eating a number of my echeverias. I’ve also found them on heather plants, foxtail ferns, chilli plants, sedum succulents a euphorbia succulent, photinia hedges.

Morayfield Termite Control

Morayfield’s warm climate attracts pests that can cause serious damage to your property. These include Termites, Mosquitoes and Flies.

Many older homes in Morayfield are made of timber, and a termite attack can have disastrous results. Termite inspections and treatment are very important. The best place to start is with Palace Pest Control, they know where to look for the little guys! To know more about Termite Control Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.

Termites are a very destructive wood-eating pest that can cause significant damage to your home. They enter homes through soil and eat the structural timbers within them. Termites can be prevented by maintaining a proper moisture level in soil around the house, keeping firewood away from the house, and installing concrete foundation blocks and retaining walls.

During the spring, swarmers (winged reproductives) fly out of mature termite colonies and look for a new habitat. They are usually found in rotting or damp wood components of your home, tree stumps and root sections, fence posts, and firewood piles. Termite species differ in size, but all termites have a caste system that includes workers, soldiers, and nymphs (immature reproductives). Queens and kings are the sexually mature members of the colony.

Mosquitoes are blood-feeding insects that cause a lot of discomfort with their itchy bites. They also spread diseases and viruses in humans and animals.

The best control measures for mosquitoes are source reduction and the use of insect surface sprays. Ensure that fly screens on doors and windows are in place and regularly wash and clean them. Wear light coloured clothes and use an insect repellent that contains picaridin or diethyltoulamide (DEET).

Remove all sources of water where mosquitoes can breed. Regularly empty and scrub, overturn or cover tyres, wheelbarrows, trailers, garden containers, bird baths, flower pot saucers, pet drinking bowls, vases and children’s toys.

Flies are common pests in urban and rural areas. These insects are often attracted to garbage receptacles, compost piles, excrement and rotting organic materials. They also breed in poultry ranches and swine facilities.

Female flies can lay hundreds of eggs, and larvae can hatch within four days. They grow up to 12 mm in just a few days, and are then ready to pupate.

To control flies, all trash containers should have tight-fitting lids and be kept dry. Similarly, manure should be buried under inorganic wastes to deteriorate its capacity for fly breeding, and all poultry facilities should be fully enclosed. Pesticide bait formulations may be used to reduce fly populations.

Silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum) are insects that feed on starch, cellulose and certain glues in book bindings and wallpaper. They are easily identified by the tiny skin casts that they leave behind on items as they move across them. They are often introduced into buildings in cardboard cartons of books and papers. They breed in wall voids, in subflooring and cellars and even in shake roofs.

To control them, vacuum carpets and floors regularly, keep food in one part of the house and use dehumidifiers in humid areas. You can also try running sticky traps in areas they frequent like basements and cupboards or dusts that are toxic to them such as boric acid, diatomaceous earth and Japanese cedar essential oil.

In early summer, scarab beetles lay eggs that hatch into grubs that munch on grass roots. They can cause serious damage in yards, gardens and sporting ovals. The grubs grow until mid- to late fall and then move deeper into the soil where they spend the winter. The next spring, they emerge as adult beetles and the cycle starts again.

Preventive products containing imidacloprid, thiamethoxam or clothianidin will reduce 75-100% of grubs when applied in June or July and watered-in immediately. Curative products containing carbaryl, trichlorfon or zeta-cypermethrin kill grubs on contact and should be used during the late summer or fall. Your pest control technician will recommend the best option for your situation.

Both rats and mice are rodents that can cause structural damage to your home. They are nocturnal and feed on garbage, seeds and other plant materials. They can also gnaw on wires and wood and are known fire hazards. They can enter the home through gaps and openings. A mouse can squirm through a hole that’s one-quarter inch in size, while a rat requires a larger gap.

To prevent a rat infestation, contact your local pest control company to remove the rodents from your property. The company’s entomologist can help you identify the rodents, as well as recommend other preventative measures. The staff can also monitor and treat sanitary sewers for rat activity in the area. To know more about Termite Control Morayfield, visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.

How Important Is Choosing The Right Type Of Insecticide For Your Crops?

Various types of insecticides are available when protecting crops from insect pests. These insecticides can be classified into different categories based on their chemical composition and mode of action. Here are some common types of insecticides used in crop protection:

Organophosphates

These insecticides contain phosphorus compounds that inhibit the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in insects, leading to their paralysis and death. Examples include Malathion and Chlorpyrifos.

Pyrethroids

Derived from natural pyrethrins found in chrysanthemum flowers, pyrethroids act on the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. Examples include Permethrin and Cypermethrin.

Neonicotinoids

These insecticides affect the central nervous system of insects by binding to specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. They are commonly used as seed treatments. Examples include Imidacloprid and Clothianidin.

Carbamates

 Similar to organophosphates, carbamates also inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. They are less persistent in the environment compared to organophosphates. Examples include Carbaryl and Methomyl.

Biopesticides

They are derived from natural materials such as plants, bacteria, or minerals. They include microbial insecticides and botanical insecticides.

Systemic Insecticides

These are absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its tissues, making them toxic to insects that feed on the plant. They can be from chemical classes, such as neonicotinoids, organophosphates, or carbamates.

It is important to note that the use of insecticides should be done judiciously, following proper guidelines and regulations, to minimise potential risks to human health and the environment. Integrated Pest Management practices incorporate multiple pest control strategies and are often recommended for sustainable and effective crop protection. For more information on this topic, please refer to How To Choose Insecticides Perfect For Your Crops?

Things You Should Know About Bee Removal

How Pest Control Organizations Eliminate Bees

Proficient bee removers are not coldhearted. They utilize chemicals to eliminate, not annihilate, honey bees. Some utilize insect poisons in restricted amounts or sprinkle carbaryl or diazinon powder around hives or settlements to make the region inhabitable for the bugs.

Honey bees that form settlements in walls, like bumble bees, are precarious to eliminate. The wall before the hive must be eliminated for admittance to the hive. A Do-It-Yourself task will cause more damage than great, thus will pausing. Bumble bees duplicate and gather honey quickly. With time, a settlement can have more than 100 pounds of it in your walls alongside pounds of beeswax brushes.

While some bee removers use bug sprays to kill them, the arrangement is counterproductive. The honey bees will simply fall into an enormous heap that will ultimately spoil and produce a foul scent. The fluid that the mass of decaying honey bees delivers can enter your walls, prompting expensive fixes.

A deep-rooted state is more difficult to eliminate contrasted with another one. Unattended honey stores can age and make gas which can harm the cells holding the sweet stuff set up. At the point when that occurs, that tacky honey can saturate your drywall.

Experienced and sympathetic bee removers eliminate bees without killing them. The primary thing they do is find the settlement in the walls by tapping it with a little mallet. Some likewise exceed everyone's expectations and utilize a stethoscope to find it, while others might embed a dainty wire through the wall to find the state.

An expert worker for hire can eliminate the wall hindering admittance to the hive. The honey bees are then vacuumed and put away in one more hive or moved into an edge briefly. A few experts likewise trap the honey bees into a cross-section wire before migrating them to another hive. They can likewise fix the wall they needed to destroy for an additional expense. Ensure you inquire as to whether they offer this help before your wall descends so you can plan likewise.

What You Ought to Be familiar with bee Expulsion

Bees can feel like an irritation on the off chance that they attack your home, however earthy people conflict. These bugs are normal pollinators. Without them, entire environments can vanish, and hunters that feed on them can likewise go wiped out. This, thus, can affect the pecking order adversely, bringing about starvation. At the end of the day, their presence is fundamental for the vegetation of the world. While honey bees can turn into an issue inside, they are innocuous for however long they are not irritated.

Additionally, don't overreact assuming that you see one honey bee in your home. Simply check if there is a hive present before calling honey bee removers. On the off chance that there isn't, the odds are the honey bee is lost or is searching for a spot for another settlement.

If you get another state each season, proficient pest experts, for example, "Town and Country Solutions" a reputed Rochester Pest Control, NY agency can likewise obstruct section focuses to forestall a re-pervasion.

Bees are the explanation for the planet being green, and why we have food on our plates. In any case, assuming you have a hive on your patio that should not be there, you and your family can get stung. A sting that is innocuous for you can be dangerous for any individual who is sensitive to honey bees.

Except if you are a beekeeper, dispensing with honey bees all alone is an impractical notion. A hive contains a huge number of these buzzy bugs, and they assault in a multitude. Ensure you recruit experts for the task to forestall a misfortune or an outing to the trauma center. Get your free bug inspection today.

Insecticides and pesticides for plants

for guidance only. The lists of Do not spray plants that may be damaged by pesticides or allow spray to drift on to them. (Product images are used for example only no product endorsement is implied, nor is discrimination intended. These products are all registered pesticides. Spray plants thoroughly, including stems, buds and the underside of leaves but without excessive run-off or drift. Myth 1: Pesticides insecticides and weedkillers FACT: Any substance or mixture of substances used to manage a pest is a pesticide. Use it on vegetables, trees, flowers, and shrubs, as well as indoor plants. Shake well and use it in the evenings on and under the leaves of plants to kill infestations. You can repeat the treatment if needed once every seven days but should avoid applying more than seven treatments of the carbaryl pesticide in one year. combined insecticide/fungicide for use on ornamental plants. To make a natural bug repellent for plants using vinegar, mix one-part vinegar with 3 parts water. For best results, spray the leaves thoroughly – including the undersides – with the pesticide. For example, one brand of carbaryl-containing pesticide suggests using 3/8 to 3/4 fluid ounces of the insecticide per 1,000 square foot area to treat a flea beetle infestation on peppers. For instance, azadirachtin and other terpenoids of the limonoid group from the families Meliaceae and Rutaceae are potent growth inhibitors of several insect species. To prevent unintended damage to the pepper plants, follow the directions on the synthetic pesticide label. Consider these types of pesticides only when the less toxic pesticides have not controlled the pepper pests. Carbaryl, like most other synthetic pesticides, is toxic to humans, mammals, aquatic life and beneficial insects, warns the Missouri Botanical Garden. Carbaryl, for example, is a general use synthetic pesticide that kills various pepper pests including flea beetles and is applied as a foliar spray. Synthetic pesticides contain a manmade active ingredient and generally pose a higher risk to people and mammals than naturally derived ingredients. Petroleum oils are highly refined, paraffinic oils that are used to manage pests and diseases of plants.
