During 2004, there were over 100 known illegal Termite and Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspectors at work in the state, filling out Form 13645. Form 13645 is important to consumers in Florida because if an inspection for termites and other WDOs is done as part of a real estate transaction, then Form 13645 is required by Florida Statute 482.266. For more information on Form 13645, as it pertains to home buyers, see http://www.flaes.org/aes-ent/termitehelp/index.html and click on Understanding Real Estate WDO report Information. In addition, the home inspection industry remains unregulated. This document is ENY-2005 (IN629), one of a series of the Department of Entomology and Nematology, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Date first published: July 2005.

Four species of "cotton stainers," also known as "red bugs," are known from Florida. However, the most important of these is the cotton stainer, Dysdercus suturellus (Herrich- Schaeffer). Morrill (1910) stated the cotton stainer was the most destructive cotton pest in Florida. Currently, the cotton stainer is a minor pest of cotton, and then only in the southern part of the state (Sprenkel 2000). This document is EENY-330 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 48), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The ant Crematogaster ashmeadi (Emery) is commonly known as an acrobat ant. There are perhaps 10 species of Crematogaster in Florida, and C. ashmeadi is commonly found throughout the state (Deyrup, personal communication). Members of this genus are referred to as acrobat ants because of the flexible way that a worker holds its abdomen (gaster) up over the rest of its body. This document is EENY-333 , one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Published: August 2004.  EENY333/IN610: Acrobat Ant, Crematogaster ashmeadi Emery (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae) (ufl.edu)

Some insects may be more important in some areas of the state than others. Scouting guidelines and action thresholds for tomatoes are from the Florida Tomato Scouting Guide, SP 22, 2nd edition. This document is ENY-461, one of a series of the Entomology & Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Over 99% of Florida's interstate produce and ornamentals shipments are by truck. As such, it is important to Florida agriculture that these carriers be financially viable. At the same time, shipper/receivers are interested in paying the least cost possible for haulage. They are also interested in having reliable motor carrier service, which is only possible if freight rates are sufficient to cover costs. In this report, the adequacy of freight rates paid for produce and ornamentals movements out of Florida and freight rates received for complementary haulage into the state will be examined. Data come from a 2001/2002 survey of over 1,600 drivers of semis as they exited the Florida Peninsula (Appendix; Beilock, 2004).  This is EDIS document, FE541, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Published March 2005.
