Mole crickets are small, primitive, burrowing insects that make up the family Gryllotalpidae. Mole crickets can cause major damage to lawns and landscaping if not quickly controlled. The best way to control these pests is to eliminate them before they start. Mole crickets are a nuisance to people living in the mid-west and to homeowners who have just moved from somewhere else. They are most commonly found in vegetable gardens and lawns, but also occasionally invade grain bins, storage rooms, basements and potted plants. Mole crickets, Oniscus asellus, are insect-like pests that live above ground and especially below the surface. Found in moist environments including indoors, this pest causes damage primarily through their feeding activities. Since they feed only on the roots of plants they cause great damage to agricultural fields, horticultural crops, nursery plants and turf grasses.
Pesticide For Mole Crickets
Mole cricket is a common pest that can be found throughout the United States. It is most prevalent in the southern states, but has been seen as far north as Michigan and New York. The mole cricket is a brown, cylindrical insect with long antennae and large hind legs. It is often confused with the termite, but there are some key differences between the two pests. Not only do they look different, they behave differently too.
The termite is a social insect which lives in colonies made up of thousands of individuals. The termite feeds off of wood, which it breaks down using digestive enzymes secreted from its salivary glands. Termites do not produce feces like other insects do; instead they digest the wood into sugar and then secrete this sugar into their bodies for energy. This sugar becomes part of the termite’s blood stream where it is used for energy throughout its life cycle.
A mole cricket does not live in colonies or eat wood at all; instead it eats plants and grains such as wheat and corn (which makes them an agricultural pest). These insects lay eggs which hatch into nymphs who then develop into adults—all without any parental involvement whatsoever!
Insecticide for mole crickets is designed to kill the pests and their eggs. The product can be used in the yard, around homes, and on outdoor plants. It is available in liquid form or as granules. The application rate depends on the area being treated; a general recommendation is one gallon of liquid per acre.
The product should be applied once a week during peak mole cricket activity periods. This will help control the population and minimize damage to your home and garden.
