Australian Plant Pests
Plant pests can have a detrimental effect on both residential and commercial horticulture. Crop infestations can significantly impact our agricultural market. Here are just a few of the most common Australian plant pests that have a noteworthy or major impact on a broad range of plants.
The Annual Migration of Bogong Moths
Every year between September and November, the Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) migrates to the Bogong High Plains. The Bogong High Plains form part of the Victorian Alps of the Great Dividing Range. They are located in the Alpine National Park in the Australian state of Victoria and are situated south of Mount Bogong.
The Cost of Termite Damage
Every year 180,000 Australian homes are attacked by termites. This equals an alarming $1.3billion of repair costs each year. CSIRO reported that 32% of homes in Australia had a termite presence. This means that your home has a 1 in 3 chance of being the victim of termite damage. There is also an 80% chance that your home is within 25 metres of a termite colony. These statistics are very unsettling for home owners who have invested a lot of money into buying their dream home.
Do Cockroaches Deserve Their Reputation?
The cockroach has a reputation for being one of the hardiest insects on the planet. A reputation that is well deserved, even though some of the ‘facts’ surrounding cockroaches are not true- like they would be the only survivor of a nuclear winter.
One Of Every Five Living Animal Species Is A Beetle
As a human, it is pretty easy to think of ourselves as at the top on planet Earth. There are six billion of us and we live on every single continent. During our day we see hundreds if not thousands of other humans and we live in countries made up of millions of us. Not only that, but we always talk about ourselves like we are top dog. Like we have won the evolutionary race.
The Cochineal Insect
Quite often it pays not to think of what is in an end product. When we buy things, be they food, cosmetics or any one of the other thousands of products out there, they are nicely packaged and have just popped out of the factory. However, they are often made from some pretty interesting things.
