The Florists' Review 



AroTJST 14, WW. 



to eliminate and stop further damage by 

 white ants when once -these iaaects kave 

 become established in the WAOilwerrk -of 

 a building. The approximate point of 

 entrance should be nought at once by 

 careful examination of all woodwork in 

 contact with the ground. It may be 

 necessary to tear up the flooring and 

 other woodwork to do this. The foun- 

 dation timbers and interior woodwork 

 found damaged should be removed, and 

 the ground whoro they were set 

 drenched with kerosene oil. 



The main purpose must be to prevent 

 the insects from gaining further access 

 to the woodwork from colonies in the 

 ground. This may be accomplished by 

 replacing untreated foundation timbers 

 with stone or concrete. If it is not 

 practicable to substitute stone founda- 

 tions, foundation timbers in contact 

 with the ground should be replaced with 

 timbers impregnated with coal-tar 

 creosote. 



In greenhouses iron frames and con- 

 crete work should, wherever possible, 

 replace woodwork. The wooden up- 

 rights supporting the wooden plant 

 benches should be sawed off, if set on or 

 in the ground, and rested on stone, 

 bricks or concrete above the surface of 

 the ground. Where woodwork is neces- 

 sary, wood that is impregnated with a 

 one per cent solution of bichloride of 

 mercury should be substituted. Wood 

 thus impregnated can be painted after 

 treatment. 



Poles, posts, construction timbers, 

 and other wood in contact with the 

 ground should be treated with chemical 

 preservatives to render the wood more 

 resistant to attack by termites. Of the 

 more superficial methods of preserving 

 timber, brush or dipping treatments 

 with coal-tar creosotes and carbolineums 

 have proved most effective. The most 

 permanent known practical method is to 

 impregnate the wood under pressure 

 with coal-tar creosotes. Where it is im- 

 practicable to treat such timbers as 

 poles, posts, etc., to be set in contact 

 with the ground, they should be selected 

 from woods noted for durability and 

 resistance to attack by white ants. 



Protection of Nursery Stock. 



Owing to the subterranean habits of 

 white ants, it is extremely difficult to 

 prevent or remedy injury to living 

 fruit or shade trees. Care should be 

 taken that the trees do not become 

 scarred near the base, in order to pre- 

 vent heart-rot an<l subsequent infesta- 

 tion. Properly executed tree surgery 

 sometimes may be effective in repair- 

 ing damage to valuable old trees. Re- 

 move and burn dead and dying infested 

 trees. Burn prunings promptly. 



Injury to nursery stock will be most 

 serious on recently cleared land where 

 there is abundant decaying wood. Such 

 debris, in which the insects breed, 

 should be removed. In general, the use 

 of recently cleared land should be 

 avoided in planting nursery stock. Care 

 should be taken not to allow the roots 

 to dry out before planting; such 

 weakened stock is liable to attack. In 

 the case of the pecan, it is recommended 

 that two or three cereal crops be grown 

 on newly cleared land before the young 

 trees are set out. The use of commer- 

 cial fertilizers instead of stable manure 

 is suggested.
