Patent number: 8276314Abstract: The arthropod trap has a base with a plurality of sides that angle upwardly and inwardly toward a capture area in the center of the base. Multiple outwardly-projecting fins are disposed on or adjacent to the sides of the base. The fins also angle upwardly toward the capture area so that the fins guide arthropods into the capture area. The capture area includes a pitfall so that the arthropods topple through a pitfall opening and are retained in the pitfall. A trap cover fits over and at least partially conceals the capture area. In one embodiment, the trap cover provides a platform for the placement of light emitting diodes that emit light in a wavelength that appeals to the positive phototaxis instincts of the target arthropods.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Adrian J. Duehl, Lee W. Cohnstaedt, Richard T. Arbogast, Peter E. A. Teal

Patent number: 8066988Abstract: A Small Hive Beetle trap, which replaces the bottom board of beehives, includes a frame having three walls and a top surface, a trap plate, an entry means, and a trapping means. The trapping means provides a dark environment attractive to small hive beetles and contains a small hive beetle attractant made from pollen dough and inoculated with yeast that produces small hive beetle attracting volatiles. The yeast is a biologically pure strain of yeast producing hive beetle attracting volatiles designated yeast spp. NRRL Y-30722.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture, University of Florida Research Foundation Inc.Inventors: Peter E.

Patent number: 7208476Abstract: Novel pseudopeptide analogs of the insect allatostatin neuropeptide family which possess biological activity mimicking that of the naturally occurring neuropeptides are disclosed. By addition of a hydrophobic moiety to an active portion of the allatostatin peptides, analogs are produced which exhibit an overall amphiphilic nature and which are capable of penetrating the insect cuticle while still retaining biological activity. Furthermore, by substituting sterically hindered amino acids or aromatic acids for any or all of the first, third or fifth amino acid residues of the allatostatin C-terminal pentapeptide, analogs may be produced which are resistant to degradation by insect peptidases while still retaining biological activity. The analogs may be used for insect control by disrupting critical reproductive and/or developmental processes normally regulated by allatostatins in insects.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2003Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Ronald J. Nachman, Peter E. A. Teal, Christopher S. Garside, Stephen S. Tobe
