The Pet Dish Dr. Harold Davis D.V.M. MT. WEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL Question: We just got a new horse and our neighbor said it should be wormed. What should he done? Worms or internal parasites are the greatest single cause of death in horses. They can also be a contributing con-tributing factor in many respiratory, respirato-ry, digestive and performance problems in the horse. There are four main parasites found in the horse: 1. Bots, which are the larvae of the bot fly. The bot fly is very common in a horses environment. During the summer, flies lay eggs on the horse's chest and forelegs. When the horse licks these areas, the eggs get into its mouth and hatch into larvae and these migrate eventually to the stomach. Hundreds of bots can attach to the stomach stom-ach wall and thus cause problems. Bots are best treated in the winter after a good frost. 2. Strongyles are small round worms and known as blood worms. These are very serious as the immature stage migrates through the blood vessels causing damage to the horse with anemia and aneurysms. 3. Large round worms or ascariads can be present in numerous numbers in a horses small intestine. Colic and diarrhea can be caused by the adult worm and the migrating migrat-ing larvae. 4. Pinworms are less dangerous, but can be very annoying an-noying with severe rectal itching. Though parasites are a constant problem for the horse, the severity can be lessened with a regular preventative Erogram. The life cycle of the worms can be broken by eeping stalls cleaned and by a fly control program. Horses should be wormed at least two times a year. A regular worming program throughout a horse's life is essential es-sential to the health and care of the horse. Ma specialist How can I control earwigs in my home and garden By Diane Alston UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION ENTOMOLOGIST The earwig got its name from an old superstition that it could crawl into peoples' ears while they sleep and bore into the brain. This belief is not true. Earwigs can, however, chew into plants and cause damage and can be a nuisance around the home. Consider this inf or-mationfor or-mationfor control. The most common type of earwig found in home yards in Utah is an exotic species called the European earwig. Earwigs are easy to recognize from their cerci, the large, pincer-like pincer-like appendages on the hind end. Cerci are used in self-defense and courtship and will deliver de-liver only a mild pinch to humans. hu-mans. The earwig body is flat and elongated and red-brown in color. Earwigs are one-fourth to one and one-fourth inches in length. Adults have a short pair of leathery wings covering a folded pair of membranous wings. They are weak fliers and move mostly by crawling. Earwigs can emit a foul smelling, yellow-brown liquid from their scent glands. They are omnivorous and will scavenge scav-enge on dead insects and decayed de-cayed organic matter, prey on live insects and chew on living plant material including leaves, flowers, stems, fruits and roots. Earwigs are pests outside the home because of the damage they can cause to ornamental and garden plants, and a nuisance nui-sance when they enter homes seeking shelter and food. If damage to garden plants is apparent ap-parent or many earwigs enter the home, control measures should be considered. Garden plants commonly injured in-jured by earwigs in Utah include in-clude annual flowers (especially (especial-ly marigolds, dahlias and zinnias), zin-nias), herbs (especially basil), roses, raspberries, strawberries, strawber-ries, apricots, peaches, sweet corn tassels and silks. Because earwigs are beneficial benefi-cial due to their predaceous and decomposer feeding habits, they should only be controlled con-trolled when causing harm. Earwigs are nocturnal. If chewing injury to plants is apparent ap-parent but no culprit can be found during the day, check the plants at night with a flashlight. flash-light. If shiny, slime trails are present, snails or slugs are the culprit rather than earwigs. For earwig control, focus on the outside of the home where populations increase during spring and summer. To reduce their entry into your home, create cre-ate a clean, dry border using gravel or stone immediately around the foundation wafl. Eliminate hiding places near the foundation such as ground-covers, ground-covers, climbing vines, weeds, thick mulches and vegetation and piles of debris, leaves or wood. Earwigs hide under mulches in plant beds during the day, so be sure to select mulches with smaller-sized particles to reduce re-duce refuges. Seal cracks and crevices around windows, doors and cable holes in walls. Apply insecticides (see recommended recom-mended products below) around the foundation, flowerbeds and turf within several sev-eral yards of the home. In late spring to early summer, sum-mer, suppress earwig populations popula-tions by targeting sites where they congregate (sites where females brood their young), and on plants when injury appears. ap-pears. Place traps in the evening and collect and remove re-move earwigs in the morning. Effective traps include shallow shal-low cans with vegetable or other oth-er odorous oils, moist rolled newspaper and cardboard boxes box-es baited with oatmeal or bran. Be sure cardboard containers have pencil-sized holes near the bottom for entry. Apply an effective insecticide insecti-cide in the late evening just before be-fore earwigs come out to feed. Recommended insecticides include in-clude permethrin, esfenvaler-ate, esfenvaler-ate, birenthrin, pyrethrins, car-baryl, car-baryl, malathion, azadirachtin and diatomaceous earth. Use enough water in the application applica-tion to cover plants and carry the chemical into the top layer of soil or mulch where earwigs hide.
