Effects of an Application of Granular Carbaryl on Nontarget Forest Floor Arthropods

Abstract: We evaluated the effects of a single application of granular carbaryl made against nymphal Ixodes scapularis Say on the diversity and abundance of forest arthropods taken in pitfall traps in oak and mixed oak-pine forest sites for 12 wk after treatment in central New Jersey. Significant short-term changes in arthropod assemblages were detected immediately posttreatment. Effects were not distributed equally across taxa. Seasonal changes in numbers and diversity of forest arthropods in the study areas may have a… Show more

“…17,18 A single springtime application of synthetic acaricide timed to coincide with nymphal emergence can significantly reduce the number of questing ticks for several months. 19 Natural, plant-based acaricides, which may be more acceptable to some homeowners 17,20,21 can also reduce the abundance of I. scapularis nymphs; however, their efficacy begins to wane after several weeks. 19,22,23 Knowledge regarding the time period when humans have a high risk of acquiring infection could therefore be used to target the timing of application of conventional or natural acaricides.…”

“…Chemical application continues to be the cornerstone of I. scapularis and ixodid control worldwide, but can induce ixodid resistance (e.g., Nolan 1990;Beugnet and Chardonnet 1995;Fernandes 2001;Miller et al 2001;Soderlund and Knipple 2003) and negatively affect non-target organisms (Schulze et al 2001b). In field studies, broadcast and barrier synthetic chemical applications using organophosphates, carbamates, or pyrethroids have effectively controlled I. scapularis adults (Schulze et al 1987(Schulze et al , 1992Patrican and Allan 1995), nymphs (Schulze et al 1991(Schulze et al , 1994(Schulze et al , 2000(Schulze et al , 2001aStafford 1991;Solberg et al 1992;Curran et al 1993;Allan and Patrican 1995;Patrican and Allan 1995), and larvae (Schulze et al 1991;Allan and Patrican 1995).…”

“…En efecto, Spain (1974) y Schulze et al (2001) encontraron que el carbaril disminuye la densidad de los colémbolos. En coincidencia, los cebos que contienen carbaril como IA, ante las dosis mayores se comportaron de manera similar a la aplicación del insecticida, debido a que ocasionaron mortalidad y disminución del número de crías sobre F. candida (Figura 2).…”
