  1. Formosan and native subterranean termite attack of pressure-treated SPF wood species exposed in Louisiana

    This study evaluated the relative ability of three types of wood preservatives to inhibit attack by Formosan subterranean termites (FST) (Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki) and native subterranean termites (Reticulitermes spp.). The study also evaluated the roles of preservative retention and penetration in preventing termite damage. Sections of boards from six wood...

  2. Evaluation of nonpressure wood preservatives for military applications

    Zinc naphthenate (ZnN) has been widely used for dip treatment of Department of Defense wood packaging materials but is no longer available. Research was conducted to evaluate the preservative efficacy and corrosiveness of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered alternatives to ZnN. Efficacy of “green” preservatives (defined here as not containing...

  3. Pest risk assessment of the importation into the United States of unprocessed Pinus logs and chips from Australia

    The unmitigated pest risk potential for the importation of unprocessed logs and chips of species of Pinus (Pinus radiata, P. elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii, P. taeda L., and P. caribaea var. hondurensis, principally) from Australia into the United States was assessed by estimating the likelihood and consequences of introduction of representative insects and pathogens...
