From Rose Pest Solutions:
In an effort to stress the importance of science in the classroom while promoting the field of entomology, Rose Pest Solutions will give away more than 1000 Madagascar hissing cockroaches to schools and childrens organizations in Michigan, Ohio and northeast Indiana. The Rose Pest Solutions Madagascar Giveaway Program provides teachers with live insects in a plastic habitat and a factsheet with care instructions on a first-come, first-served basis. The FREE giveaway is available while supplies last and limited to two (2) habitats per school or organization.
Rose Pest Solutions is proud to help introduce the science of entomology to young minds in the classroom, improving their knowledge of the natural world, said H. Russell Ives, president of Rose Pest Solutions. Childrens curiosity makes them eager scientists. We hope this unique program provides meaningful opportunities for discussion, observation and drawing conclusions.
The Madagascar hissing cockroach is one of several similar species native to the island of Madagascar that lives on the forest floor near rotten logs. They are large, non-biting insects with a relatively long life cycle that are easy to care for and fun to observe. Since they are sub-tropical insects, they will not survive in our temperature climate and must be cared for indoors.
Rose Pest Solutions is the nations oldest pest management company that was founded by Solomon Rose in 1860 in Cincinnati. Today, the Troy, Mich.-based company provides comprehensive pest control services for homes and businesses in Michigan, Ohio and northeast Indiana.
Teachers and instructors in these areas who are interested in the program should contact Barb Craig, marketing manager for Rose Pest Solutions, at either (248) 824-7040 or bcraig@rosepest.com.

Pest control company to give away Madagascar hissing cockroaches to schools
Like a master of disguise, a species of fruit fly has proven adept at playing the impostor.
What scientists have for two decades believed to be four distinct species the Philippine fruit fly, the Asian Papayafruit fly, the Invasive fruit fly, and the Oriental fruit fly are actually all the same, a discovery that could help boost pest control measures and eliminate an unnecessarybarrier to trading goods.
Last year, researchers found that the Philippine and Asian Papaya fruit flies were indistinguishable. This week, a United Nations-backed study published in the journal Systematic Entomology, reveals that two more types the Oriental and Invasive fruit flies are genetically identical not only to each other, but also to the other pairing. All four will now be known as the Oriental fruit fly, or Bactrocera dorsalis.
In this most recent study, an international team of researchers marshaled data from molecular, behavioral, cytogenetic, and morphological sciences, among others to pull together evidence proving that several of these species were genetically the same. The team also studied a fifth fly, the Carambola fruit fly, but determined that it is a distinct species.
Farmers around the globe regard the Oriental fruit fly, be it four species or one, as a menace. Arriving inEastern Africa more than a decade ago, it hassince expanded its presence to most other regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. In West Africa the damage has been particularly devastating: farmers saw crop losses of more than 50 percent in some commercial mango orchards.
Besides killing crops, the invasive species turns countries that these flies call home into undesirable trading parters in the international market.
"Those countries who are free of these species want to maintain their pest-free status in order to protect their agriculture," Rafael Argiles Herrero, technical officer for the FAO's Insect Pest Control Section, told the Monitor in an email.
So these countries force imported fruit to go through quarantines to make sure the invasive fruit flies don't enter the environment. But knowing that four of these species are indeed the same means that trade restrictions like quarantines can come down, at least between regions in which the pest is already present, like Africa and Asia.
Pinning down the identity of these fruit flies also makes the battle to bring down their population numbers a bit easier. One effective method of pest control is the Sterile Insect Technique, or SIT, where scientists release into the infected environment male flies that have been sterilized through radiation. The sterile males then mate with female flies existing in the wild, who then fail to produce offspring, allowing the population to gradually decline.
"The SIT can't be applied if mating compatibility between the sterile and wild flies has not been demonstrated," Argiles Herrero said.

STANTON A home sustained moderate damage in a fire Monday night in Stanton, authorities said.
The fire broke out around 6:50 p.m. in the attic of the single-story residence in the 7800 block of Santa Rita Avenue, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
The fire was started by a resident who was improperly using a makeshift open-flame device to eradicate spiders and spider webs in the eaves of the roof, he said, and the device caught some combustible material on fire.
There was fire damage to the homes attic and roof, along with smoke damage throughout the house, Concialdi said. No one was injured.
Thirty firefighters got the fire under control about 7:15 p.m., Concialdi said. The residents were displaced by the fire, he added. It was unclear how many people lived in the home.
