ANT CONTROL TIP OF THE DAY: Killing single ants inside the home should be avoided, as live ants are attracted to the smell of their dead companions, and will swarm to the place to be able to carry away the carcasses! |

Bed Bugs Discovered With MRSA |
|
The one bright side of having bed bugs — if you wanted to be really optimistic about it — has always been that at least the tormenting critters didn't transmit disease. But now researchers in Vancouver report that they've found bed bugs with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA.
The scientists studied five bed bugs, taken from three patients treated at St. Paul's Hospital. All three patients were residents of Vancouver's poor Downtown Eastside, where both bed bugs and MRSA have been on the rise in recent years. The researchers wanted to see if there was a connection.
So they crushed and analyzed the bugs and found three samples with MRSA, the superbug that is resistant to most commonly used antibiotics. The two other samples had vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, or VRE, a less dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
That's pretty much all they know at this point. It's not clear, for example, whether the drug-resistant germs were transmitted from people to bed bugs, or the other way around. The strain of MRSA the scientists found was consistent with community-associated MRSA found in other Downtown Eastside residents.

YELLOWJACKETS Threaten Native Species
Western yellowjackets were accidentally introduced into Hawaii during the 1900's, and are causing serious problems. In the continental U.S. colonies of this yellowjacket usually die off each winter, and only the fertilized queens survive. However, in Hawaii’s warm year-round climate, colonies don’t die off; they continue to grow larger each year. Nests that are typically basketball-size and hold 50,000 workers—a serious enough problem—can become even larger and explode to 500,000 workers.
These yellowjackets can cause severe problems for native eco-systems. Adult yellowjackets consume large amounts of nectar, which means there is less for native insects and birds. The pests apparently also are disrupting pollination of native plants. In addition, yellow-jackets need protein for their growing broods, so they consume huge amounts of insects and other prey, leaving less food available for Hawaii's insect-eating birds, many of whose populations have dwindled. Even honey bees are food for these wasps—they kill the bees by decapitating them. This pest is indeed causing havoc!
