Be sure to read the product label for full application instructions to get rid of ants with Taurus SC. Taurus SC should also be applied around windows, door frames, where pipes and utility cable wires enter, other holes or openings into the structure, and any other place you’ve noticed ants trailing on the structure. Treat these areas with a low-pressure coarse spray up to 18 inches in width. Taurus should not be applied as a broadcast spray.

Results Family Cunaxidae Thor, 1902 Subfamily Cunaxinae Den Heyer, 1978 Armascirus Den Heyer, 1978 Taurus SC provides excellent control and elimination of ant infestations. Containing the active ingredient fipronil, Taurus can control carpenter ants, crazy ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, pharoah ants, and more. We’ll show you how easy it is to kill and prevent ants from returning using Taurus SC around the perimeter of your home or business.

In this work, we add two species new to science for the genus Armascirus, A. apophysis Chen & Jin n. sp. from Bomi County, Linzhi City, Tibet Autonomous Region and A. yulongensis Chen & Jin n. sp. from Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, P. R. China. Material and methods Ok I think I stumbled accross something completely by accident recently - and after speaking to a select few friends about it, it's time to "go public" with it, as it were, in the hope that someone can shed more light. Cunaxidae has been found on every continent except Antarctica and the genus Armascirus is also widely distributed (Smliey 1992; Skvarla et al. 2014) and is known from Guizhou, Sichuan, Shanghai, Fujian, Jiangsu, Beijing and Taiwan in China (Tseng 1980; Liang 1983; Bu & Li 1987; Hu 1997; Lin & Zhang 2000). Samples of moss on stone were collected from roadside (N29°54′4.35″, E95°30′12.10″, elevation 2628 m), Bomi County, Linzhi City, Tibet, China and fallen leaves were collected in a forest, Yulong Snow Mountain (N27°00′11″, E100°10′45″, elevation 3230 m), Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, P. R. China. Samples were placed in a Berlese-Tullgren funnels for 8–12 hours to extract the mites, then they were preserved in 75% alcohol, and mounted in Hoyer's medium on slides (Krantz & Walter 2009). Coordinates and altitudes were obtained by smartphone with GPS. Line drawings were prepared with the aid of a drawing tube attached to a phase contrast Nikon Ni E microscope with DIC optics and photographs were taken using a camera (Nikon DS-Ri 2) attached to a Nikon Ni E microscope with DIC optics. All figures were edited with Adobe Photoshop CC 2019. Measurements (given in micrometers, µm) were taken using the software Nikon NIS Elements AR 4.50 with those of the holotype followed by the measurements of paratypes in parentheses. The dorsal and ventral setal notations follow Skvarla et al. (2014), and the legs follow Den Heyer (1981).Venter (Figures 9B, 11A–D) — Ventral area between coxae I and the gnathosoma with transverse striae.

Whatever method you use, it is advised you investigate the method thoroughly, instead of just taking anyones word at face value. Ensure it's the right method for you, one that works with your aims, ethics, species and needs. Altitudes for most species of this genus are not given. However, those recorded vary between 124 m to 1300 m (Kalúz & Vrabec 2013; Kalúz et al. 2014; Kalúz & Starý 2018). Armascirus apophysis Chen & Jin n. sp. was found at altitudes 2628 m and A. yulongensis Chen & Jin n. sp. at altitude 3230 m. This implies that members of this genus may be adaptable to all altitudes. Lin, L.-Z & Zhang, Y.-Z. 2000. Bdelloidea, 9. In: Huang BK (Ed) Fauna of Insects in Fuijan Province of China.

Coll., 15(1): 56-59. [in Chinese] DO NOT exceed the specified number of applications per calendar year.More than two applications of Taurus SC per calendar year can be made only if applied according to one of the following frequency and dilution rate application scenarios. The use directions include up to four (4) applications per year at the 0.03% dilution rate for outside surfaces and along the foundation perimeter of listed structures. Gnathosoma (Figures 3A–C, 4A–B) — Palp (Figures 3A, 4A–B). Five-segmented, 412 long, all segments with papillae. Palp chaetotaxy: trochanter — none; basifemur — one dorsal simple seta and one pointed apophysis; telofemur — one dorsal spine-like seta, one pointed apophysis and one blunt apophysis; genu — two spine-like setae, two simple setae and one elongate pointed apophysis; tibiotarsus — three simple setae, one spine-like seta and one distal solenidion; claw well-developed. Chelicera (Figure 3B). 255 long, with reticulations and punctations; cheliceral seta 16 in length; chela developed. Subcapitulum (Figure 3C). 304 long, 170 wide and with papillae; two pairs of short adoral setae, ads1–ads2, 14 and 5 in length; four pairs of hypostomal setae, hg1–hg4, 25, 22, 14 and 69 in length, respectively. Distances of hg setae: hg1-hg1 10, hg2-hg2 26, hg3-hg3 53, hg4-hg4 124, hg1-hg2 42, hg2-hg3 129, hg3-hg4 48. Apply Taurus SC outside around the foundation of the structure to control ants in and around your home or business. The best time to apply Taurus is on a calm day, when there is no wind, and when rain is not expected for 24 to 48 hours before or after the treatment. There are a number of methods available to treat Parasitic Mites, and just as many opinions on what is best. This thread is based on my own thoughts and opinions, as well as reasoning behind those thoughts. I hope people see it for what it is, rather than being offended.
