MANTUA, N.J. The Philadelphia Eagles announced a multi-year partnership with Hoffman s Exterminating, Mantua, N.J. The new partnership is founded on two shared values: sustainability and giving back to the community.
As proud partners of the Eagles, Hoffman s Exterminating will service Lincoln Financial Field and the team s practice facility, the NovaCare Complex, with environmentally-friendly pest control products and solutions. A company staple for many years, Hoffman s integrated management system replaces pesticides and rodenticides with traps, exclusion methods, and cultural controls. In addition, an electronic monitoring technology, ActiveSense, has been installed at Lincoln Financial Field, allowing Hoffman s to proactively monitor for rodent activity around-the-clock, even when not on-site. The technology from Corteva Agriscience is currently the largest installation in the country.

The Formosan subterranean termite,
Coptotermes formosanus, is one of the world’s most invasive termite pest species (Rust and Su 2012, Global Invasive Species Database 2021). Believed to be originated from southern China and Taiwan, this species has dispersed to other parts of the world, including the United States. Some of the earliest records of the Formosan subterranean termite in the US were in Oahu (Hawaii) in 1907, Charleston (SC) in 1957, and New Orleans (LA) in 1966. It has now been established in at least 11 states, including Hawaii, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi.
Jason and Lowell Boone, Better Off Dead Services (B.O.D.S.), discovered a Formosan subterranean termite infestation in a Canyon Lake (Riverside County, Calif.) home, in June 2020. The infestation was confirmed by University of California-Riverside’s entomology department.

A new study from the University of Chicago has found that the photosynthetic bacterium Synechococcus elongatus uses a circadian clock to precisely time DNA replication, and that interrupting this circadian rhythm prevents replication from completing and leaves chromosomes unfinished overnight. The results, published online on May 10 in
Circadian rhythms are the internal 24-hour clock possessed by most organisms on earth, regulating a diversity of biological functions including sleep/wake cycles, hormone production, digestion and body temperature. In humans, disruptions to the circadian rhythm such as working a shift-work job or experiencing frequent jet lag have been associated with an array of health problems, including obesity, cardiovascular and immune dysfunction, mood disorders and even canc
