Costly termites are best prevented, not treated Published 7:00 am Monday, October 3, 2022 By Bonnie Coblentz MSU Extension Service STARKVILLE, Miss. — The word "termite" strikes fear in the hearts of homeowners because this insect is the most economically damaging pest in Mississippi, is very common and requires constant vigilance. Blake Layton, entomologist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said the cost of termites is so large that it is hard to pin down. "Fire ants are estimated to cost $250 million in the state each year, and termites cost considerably more than that," Layton said.

A common thought experiment posits that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can, over time, lead to a chain of events that sets off a tornado in Texas. It seems this old saw may be more true than previously thought, as a new study in the journal iScience suggests that insects can be a source of "atmospheric space charge," which is the level of electricity in the atmosphere. In other words, massive swarms of insects, such as bees or grasshoppers, may be influencing the weather, carrying an electrical charge equivalent to a thunderstorm cloud. The study gives a whole new meaning to the term "bug zapper." Our skies are filled with molecules called ions that are bristling with electric energy.
