Home may be where the heart is, but it can also be where the pests live. We at Elkhart Exterminators are here to help you keep your home safe and comfortable. We fully understand that even the cleanest homes can fall victim to pest infestations and here at Elkhart Exterminators we offer a full range of products to help you control pests both indoors and outdoors.

Based on the data, it was learned that the isopods do not appear that they differentiate between light and dark. After conducting the experiment new questions arose; Is there a maximum period of time the isopods can be in the light and dark?, and Does the type of light have an effect on where the isopods prefer to be? Some improvements that could be made are more isopods, bigger testing chambers, better means of darkness, and a less and more intense light. Another improvement that could be made is test different intensities of darkness and lightness. There were no apparent weaknesses in the experimental design. In conclusion, the isopods appear to not be sensitive to the light or the

Introduction: Isotopes are explained as the variations of the number of neutrons that an element may have. Some isotopes are more common than others. This experiment was performed to help visualize the different isotopes of an element and show how some isotopes will appear more often than others.

The organisational structure of Macmillan Is split up into 6 different sections. The first and most important sector is the chief executive whose job it is to make the big decisions and to manage the major operations and resources of the company and finally acting as the main communicating point between board of directors and corporate operations, and then there is a board of trustees that the chief executive rely on to help them with the important decisions.

The bean beetle also known as the Callosobruchus maculatus, is an agricultural pest insect from Africa and Asia. That can be found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions. The lifecycle of a bean beetles is quite short an adult been beetle lays their eggs on the external surface of a bean. The larva hatches from the egg burrows from the egg through the seed coat and into the bean endosperm without moving outside the protection of the egg. When it comes to mating both virgin and non-virgin beetles will mate readily. Some males may not produce fully formed spermatophores until twenty-four hours after emergence, then females may not mate for several hours after a previous mating. For experiment one we hypothesized that The

The purpose of the lab is to acquire the percent composition of zinc and copper. The procedure included obtaining a post 1983 penny and washing it with soap and water. Using a triangular file, we made an X on the penny. Then, we cleaned the top and bottom of the penny with steel wool until it was shiny. We rinsed the penny in acetone and dried it with paper towel. Next, we determined the mass of the penny by placing it on a balance. The mass of the penny was 2.47 grams. Afterwards, we placed the penny in a beaker filled with 20 mL of 6 M HCl. In the end we put the beaker in the fume hood and allowed it to sit overnight. During day two of the penny lab, we removed the penny skin from the beaker using tweezers. We rinsed the penny skin with

The Golden Cheeked Warbler is an attractive songbird that is unfortunatly endangered. The bird is most often called the Golden Cheeked Warbler, or the Gold Finch of Texas. It is scientifically refered to as the Setophaga Chrysoparia or Dendroica Chrysoparia. It is part of the Animalia kingdom, the Chordata phylum, the Aves class, the Passeriformes order, the Parulidae or Wood Warbler family, and the Setophaga genus.

In this lab we used two processes called Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Diffusion is a process that requires no energy and involves smaller non-polar molecules. In Figure 1 you can see the molecules spreading throughout the glass from the area of high concentration, so that the areas with low concentration are filled evenly as well. The other process was osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane from an area of high contraction to an area of low concentration. Osmosis happens in three different environments. Osmosis is like diffusion in it requiring no energy.

This paper will discuss a major concern that is happening with ash trees in the United States. A small beetle has been infesting and destroying ash trees in many northern states. This paper will be specifically focusing on a small town, LaGrange, Indiana, to find answers to the many questions for this project. I wanted to see what kind of an impact the Emerald Ash Borer had on the environment, and if there could be any impact on human health. Along with the impact these beetles had on the environment I hoped to find out how the Emerald Ash Borer arrived in the United States, because it is an invasive species, and to find out how they were moving so rapidly through northern states. Not only did I want to find the effects of the beetle, but

Python stretched as far as he could. “Almost!” I said, measuring Python against the branch. “You aren’t quite as long, but you are curled up a little. Let me tie you to the branch with this vine to make you as straight as can be.” Then, I quickly took the vine and tied Python tightly to the branch.

First, we set up the equation xZn(s) + yHCl(aq) → ZnxCly (s) + y/2H2(g) . We knew the empirical formula for zinc chloride is ZnCl8. Based on the law of conservation of matter, we got the balanced equation:

A team of researchers in Madagascar has discovered the fossil of what may be the largest frog to have ever lived. The beach-ball-size amphibian, which grew to be 16 inches (40.6 centimeters) long and weighed about (4.5kilograms) its name is Beelzebufo. ’Paleontologist David Krause of Stony Brook University in New York made the discovery and is working together with other scientists to determine how.

There are thirteen species of the Hercules beetle that we know of. The Hercules beetle is so strong that it can carry about 850 times its body weight. The life span of a Hercules beetle is

Trypanosoma cruzi is a species of parasitic euglenoid protozoans. Trypanosoma cruzi can cause Chagas disease which is “a protozoan disease of the cardiovascular system”. (Tortora, G.J., Funke, B.R., & Case, C. L. (N.d.) Microbiology: An introduction.) originating from a triatomine bug. The triatomine bug is a type of reduviid bug that can carry the parasite trypanosoma cruzi. These bugs are found mostly in the southern parts of america America as well as found in Mexico, Central America and South America. They are found in mud or stone huts beneath porches and under cement. (Cdc.gov,.
