Why is Termidor Better than Premise?
Subterranean Termites swarm and fly every spring to reproduce and spread according to noted Entomologist Gregg Henderson. Dr. Henderson PhD is a leading specialist in the field of Entomology and regularly contributes both to publications and speaking engagements at industry conferences as you can see from how regularly his name is on the schedule in the link to the 2014 National Conference on Urban Entomology. Entomology is the study of insects in general, but Dr. Henderson has become a highly quotable image in the industry specifically with termites. He recently led a research study on the Transfer Effect against the Domino Effect.
The "transfer effect" is the industry's first option and the reason for the research study. It is the effect that comes from the use of the termiticide Termidor. The "domino effect" of a termiticide, called Premise, is a really similar pesticide for killing termites. Nonetheless, as Dr. Henderson and his peers noted, more pest control companies like Termidor over Premise regardless of it being a much older termiticide. The researchers wanted to know why the industry didn't switch over to Premise. From previous research studies, they discovered that Termidor was more reliable. But they wanted to understand why it was transferred by termites more often than Premise, resulting in more deaths.
Both forms of termiticide are liquid-based sprays that are meant to delight the termites' central nervous system and afterwards cause the termite to die of over-excitation. It's kind of like offering the termites crack. They then spread the love around the nest and an increasing number of termites are affected by the poisonous substance. Both are essentially odorless and undetectable to the termite. So the termite picks up the poisonous substance and spreads it to its pals back at the nest. Hence, the names "Transfer Effect" and "Domino Effect." Though both forms of termiticide work with the very same physiological pathway, it had previously been found out that Termidor did spread around the colony more and kill a substantially larger portion of the nest.
But why? Premise works too quickly. According to the research study, within 9 hours of exposure, the initially affected termites stop moving around and start "resting." Their antennae will start to droop and they stop connecting, and they dig less. In short, they start to look unwell. Due to the fact that they look unwell, the rest of the colony avoids them. As a result, the "domino effect" doesn't take place to very many in the colony.
Termidor, in contrast, showed more ecstatic termite workers; they are moving more, digging more, and connecting normally. In short, these guys look like they're not just healthy workers, they're the "life of the party" workers. They appear to have the most energy. This makes it easy for them to essentially make friends and influence other termites. Then, after spreading Termidor around the colony, the initially-infected termites go from hyper to dead. So yes, Termidor is better than Premise. See the full research article to find out more: Transfer Effect against Domino Effect.
Dr. Henderson concludes the article with a final thought. These termiticides work best when positioned as near to the nest as possible; near the identified termite traffic areas. Qualified Termidor Technicians at Magic Pest Control can offer a cost-free termite inspection and make sure that, if there are indicators of a termite colony, Termidor is being positioned appropriately. magicpest.com/
Since Mr. Darrow is a quotable notable, I went looking for a nice Public Domain photo of him to carry my favorite quote. I liked this photo from Wikipedia, but expanded it so there would be a place to add the quote.
GST Eastern Voles Christmas gathering at Flitton Moor

Hi All & Tim
May I add my thanks to you all and wish you a happy Christmas and lots of good Voling together in 2018. I cannot wait. All those bonfires, cakes and sarcastic humour.
I thought I would be clever and write a piece about Tuesday incorporating some relevant quotes but the effort has quite overtaken me. So here instead are a few lines from a very wise & quotable Englishman .
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.
I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.
We forge the chains we wear in life.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.
There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
There are loads more to choose from and I have to say I was very surprised, perhaps I should read some of his books instead of relying on BBC Childrens Dramas from my earlier years when, hard to believe I was a sprog with hopes and the occasional dream, many of which have been far exceeded in life.

Hi All,
Many thanks for all your hard work at Flitton Moor on Tuesday. We were slightly down on the usual numbers but it didn’t stop you getting a whole lot done! I know David was pleased with the result and in his own words:
Thanks to all those who turned out on Tuesday at Flitton Moor - you did an amazing job as always.
Re fencing: I was expecting at the very most that half of the fence would be completed - and you did 2 thirds of it. Well done. The FoFM will finish it shortly in the new year.
Thanks also to those who manned the fire - and dragged brash to it. Almost all the was cut down was burnt.
And a special mention to the 6 hardy souls who spent the morning digging nettles.
A Merry Christmas to all, and a healthy 2018,
David
Thank you also to Lucinda, Sue and Erika for helping out with refreshments at lunchtime and to Malcolm and Jackie for such a lovely cake.
The next Tuesday task will be at Sandy Smith on the 2nd January and will be doing a bit more thinning/coppicing in the plantation near the bridge over the Flit plus maybe a few other jobs.
But there will also be a task at Maulden Heath next Thursday (28th) if anyone wishes to come along. The task will be clearing brash and regeneration in the Adder Field and, of course, having a fire; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.
Thanks for all your hard work this year and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

People always want to know more about David. That’s tough, because this whole enterprise is an expression of his character—or, more accurately, an attempt for him to get to know himself better. ‘There are three things extremely hard,’ said Benjamin Franklin, ‘steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.’
So what exactly is it that you want to know about David? How he made his money? (Gambling, but you knew that already.) Where he grew up? (Glenorchy, down the road from Mona.) Does this information really tell you anything about a person?
‘I’m a mess of little boys fighting in a sack,’ he says.
Something people ask a lot is: How involved is David with what happens at the museum? The answer is: usually, he is very involved. He leads a crack curatorial team that includes Directors Nicole Durling and Olivier Varenne, Exhibition Designer Adrian Spinks, Senior Research Curator Jane Clark, Curator Jarrod Rawlins, and Research Curator/Senior Writer Elizabeth Pearce, just to name a few.
Most of what we do at Mona is dear to David's heart, but sometimes he is happy to stand back and see what his team comes up with. Even so, we live in fear of God.
Quotable quote: ‘Artists are just like human beings, only not as smart.’
Special skills: Table tennis, moving like Jagger, and writing stupid little bios about himself, c.f.
David Walsh built a museum despite (or because of) a low level of chopstick proficiency. His high school reference conceded, 'Any employer who can get David to work will be very lucky.' He was once gainfully employed by the tax office, and has been paying for it ever since.

It's Muir Monday, and time for another quotable quote from John Muir.
"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." - John Muir
I took this shot over Memorial Weekend, hiking up to Nevada Falls in Yosemite. I don't know who the hikers were, but as Muir notes, we are kin.
Keep up with Muir Monday (and more) at SoCalHiker.net.

On May 31, Mike and I made an early-morning visit to the new Trader Joe's (211 Walter Seaholm Dr.), located just two blocks from our condo. After we finished our shopping and were heading out of the store, I couldn't resist stopping to take a photo of this Matthew McConaughey cutout, in which he is dressed as his character (David Wooderson) from the movie Dazed and Confused. The word bubble next to him plays on one of McConaughey's eminently quotable phrases from the film: ''Trader Joe's in Downtown Austin? Alright, alright, alright.'' :)

Every morning, I say, “I vow to be grateful for the precious opportunity of human birth.” And I don’t let myself use the excuse that I don’t have time. It doesn’t take much time to be grateful. It doesn’t take much time to notice the way the shadow of the tree outside the window flickers on my bedroom wall. About two or three seconds. Wow!
