Control of the structure-infesting beetle Hemicoelus gibbicollis (Coleoptera : Anobiidae) with borates

A borate insecticide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, reduced the numbers of larvae of Hemicoelus gibbicollis (LeConte) feeding within infested wooden timbers by > 95%. Borates did not deter female beetles from oviposition on wood but effectively prevented larvae from emerging and penetrating i...

Zusammenfassung:A borate insecticide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, reduced the numbers of larvae of Hemicoelus gibbicollis (LeConte) feeding within infested wooden timbers by > 95%. Borates did not deter female beetles from oviposition on wood but effectively prevented larvae from emerging and penetrating into timbers. Borates can easily be adapted into an integrated control program for structure-infesting anobiids.
