DOMESTIC FLY - MUSCA DOMESTICA1000 eggs/10 weeks - 12 generations/year

FLIES


• Associated with diseases, e.g. salmonella

• Danger to manufactured product

• Moist conditions to breed

• Rapid breeding in warm conditions

• Numerous types

• Seasonal breeding outdoors (April-Oct)

• Can breed all year round indoors

FLIES – HEALTH & SAFETY


•Disease transmission – such as Salmonella

• Illness transmission – such as malaria, typhoid and cholera (spread by flies [mosquitoes] in tropical countries)

•Nuisance flies (such as biting midges, Blandford fly, mosquitoes, horse fly) – bite often very painful, potential to become infected; many people show severe allergic reactions to the Blandford fly bite

FRUITFLIES


Proofing• Flush out sewers after each cleanup• Clean sewer drains• Fill water seal with clean water • Use lockable trash bins• Empty trash bins daily

• Fermenting organic waste• 400-900 eggs / incubation time sometimes 24 hours

WASPS & ANTS


WASPS & ANTS – HEALTH & SAFETY


WASPS

• Stings – some people have severe allergic reactions (anaphylactic shock)

• Fear of being stung – may cause people to respond erratically, causes a huge range of potential health risks…. Climbing down ladders too quickly, running away….

ANTS

• Disease transmission (pharaoh ants and other protein feeders mainly)

24/11/2015

6

ANT CHARACTERISTICS


• Typically like sweet and high protein foods

• Nests can be found in the soil, below paving slabs or deep in heated buildings, depending on species

• Garden ant larvae take 3-4 weeks to hatch

• Pharoah Ant colonies can be up to 300 000 individuals

ANTS – PROOFING & ERADICATION


PROOFING

• Avoid potential breeding & nesting spots

• Good hygiene: eliminate food sources

ERADICATION

• Insecticides

• Bait techniques

• Fumigation

• Entotherm Heat treatment (+55°C)

WASP CHARACTERISTICS


• Colony size up to 25.000

• Nest spots – lofts, wall cavities, old rodent burrows, hollow trees

• Feed off sweet foods and insects

24/11/2015

7

WASPS – PROOFING & ERADICATION


PROOFING

• Avoid hollow structures• Good hygiene: eliminate food sources • Insect screens

ERADICATION

• Insecticides• Electric Insect Killers• Wasp traps with lure liquid

COCKROACHES


German CockroachOriental Cockroach

COCKROACHES


• Originally from tropics/sub-tropics

• Spread via trade routes

• Inhabit buildings in temperate regions

• Develop via nymphal stages

• Have potential to spread disease

24/11/2015

8

COCKROACHES – HEALTH & SAFETY


• Disease transmission – including Salmonella and E. coli.

• Damage to items other than food – in theory could cause fire risk by chewing cables

• Contamination of food items (physical) and chemical tainting of food

COCKROACHES – NYMPHS


COCKROACHES – PROOFING & ERADICATION


• Avoid nest & breeding spots such as cracks

• Eradication with lure

COCKROACHES – ERADICATION


STORED PRODUCT INSECTS (SPI)


WHAT ARE STORED PRODUCTS?


EXAMPLES

• Whole grain• Cereals• Pasta• Meal• Flour

• Dried fruit, vegetables and nuts

• Processed meats• Coffee and Cocoa

Foodstuffs made or harvested & intended for future use

24/11/2015

10

SPI: WHERE DO WE FIND THEM?


• At home

• Commercial Catering

• Manufacturing & Hospitality

• Industrial

• Agricultural

• Ships and Planes

SPI: ERADICATION PROBLEMS


Due to the “intimate relationship” of Stored Product Pests with the various products they infest, Pest Controllers are confronted with 2 particular problems:

• Not easy to detect SPI

• As the pests live in the product and processing equipment, the use of pesticides is difficult

DETERMINE TYPE & GRAVITY OF INFESTATION


• Thorough inspection

• Correct identification

• Thorough knowledge of pest biology and ecology

• Location of pest feeding, breeding and harbourage spots

• Knowledge of the client’s site/industry type, i.e. know the production process

24/11/2015

11

SPI: THE PROBLEMS THEY CAUSE

• Direct damage (via consumption or mandibulate excavation)

• Contamination and/or tainting of product (via excrements, shed exoskeletons, live or dead insects, pupal cases, etc.)

• Moulding and caking of product (as a result of insects’ body heat and increased moisture)

• Restriction of trade due to “Quarantine” intervals

• Disruption to manufacturing processes such as blockage of filters and pneumatic systems (caused by build up of moth webbing)


SPI: BELONG TO THE INSECT ORDER


• Coleoptera (beetles and weevils)

• Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies)

• Psocoptera (booklice)

and the Arachnida order: Acarina (mites)

STORED PRODUCT INSECTS


Are either

Primary Pests

or

Secondary Pests

24/11/2015

12

SPI: PRIMARY INSECT PESTS


• Attack whole sound grain

• Complete their life cycle within the whole grain

EXAMPLES• Lesser Grain Borer• Rice Weevil• Maize Weevil• Granary Weevil

SPI: SECONDARY INSECT PESTS


• Eat broken, moist, out of condition grain

• Can eat other products

• Complete their life cycle in milled/broken products and processed products

• All Stored Product Pests other than Primary Pests are known as Secondary Pests

SPI: CONDITIONS FOR INFESTATION


• Warm temperatures (although many species occur in more temperate climates)

• High humidity

• Lack of light

• Plenty of food

• Lack of enemies, parasites, predators and pathogens

24/11/2015

13

SPI: INSPECTIONS


Inspections must be detailed and thorough, and should be a combination of the following:

• Routine and Regular

• Supplementary when there is downtime, allowing access to production and processing equipment

• Post treatment

SPI: EQUIPMENT FOR INSPECTION


• Torch and Headlamp• Overalls• Hat, Hairnet (Head, Beard and Moustache)• Ear Protection• X10 Hand Lens• Tweezers• Small Paint Brush (for picking up small insects)• Specimen Tubes• Spatula/Flat Blade for removing and lifting residues• Knowledge of Pest Biology• Knowledge of the Production Process

SPI: INSPECTION “THINK SMALL”


• Residues from vacuum cleaner• Residues and screens from dust collection vessels• Seams of bagged materials• Foldings in shrink wrapped goods • Bases of pallet racking supports • Lift wells • Ledges• Machine fittings (Beware of Enclosed Space requirements

and Trip Switches on machines)• Inside uncapped machine supports

24/11/2015

14

SPI: INSPECTION “THINK SMALL”


• Inside machine cover plates and guards

• Foam rubber sealing strips around panels,

e.g. electrical switch boards

• Dead spots in elevators and augers

• Inside and under load scales

• Horizontal ledges, especially those under conveyors

AND EVERYWHERE ELSE!

SPI: DETECTION: HOW & WHAT?


• Monitors – sticky traps, light traps, pheromone lures and traps for both moth and beetle species

• Webbing and silk near lights, ledges, on the outside of ducting, silos and holding bins

• Insect tracks in dust/flour residues

• Damage to product

• Live and dead insects

SPI: MOTH DELTA TRAP (PHEROMONE TRAP)


SPI: NON-CHEMICAL TREATMENTS


• Exclusion

• Good Housekeeping

• Microwaves

• Freezing

• Centrifuge

• Heating (+55°C)

24/11/2015

17

SPI: EXCLUSION


• Inspection of incoming goods

• Air curtains

• Air locks

• Air showers

• Rapid rise roller doors

• Quarantine

SPI: GOOD HOUSEKEEPING


• Strict stock rotation

• Quarantine new imports

• Clean out areas before introducing new products

• Inspect incoming goods

• Clean machinery

• Seal bags and silage

SPI: GOOD HOUSEKEEPING


• Store goods off ground and away from walls

• Check & control moisture and temperature

• Fill cracks and crevices

• Regular inspections

• Beware of old rodent baits

• Control external weeds etc

24/11/2015

18

SPI: CHEMICAL TREATMENTS


• Fumigation (Sulfuryl fluoride SO2F2, Phosphine PH3 )

• Grain Protectant Treatment

• Combination of residual sprays and misting techniques

• A major problem with the treatment of infested stock is that – although treated stock contains no live pests – it will still contain dead pests, eggs, pupal cases, skin casts and excrements

SPI: CHEMICAL TREATMENTS - FUMIGANTS


• Aluminium Phosphide (Phostoxin)

• Some new products have been developed and released due to the void left by the banning of Methyl bromide. Ethyl formate (Vapormate) and Sulphuryl fluoride (ProFume) may have some limited use.

SPI: CHEMICAL TREATMENTS - FUMIGANTS


Because of the difficulties with treating the product, the treatment is generally carried out by

• Destruction of infested product

• Thorough inspection

• Implementation of non-chemical recommendations

• Chemical treatment of surrounding areas using a combination of crack & crevice treatments, surface sprays and space treatments

24/11/2015

SPI: SUMMARY


• Stored Product Insects have the potential to destroy vast quantities of foodstuffs,

• Control can be simple (weevils in a pantry) or extremely complicated (moths in a cereal manufacturing company)

• It is essential to practice all facets of an Integrated Pest Management program if you wish to succeed!

• Think Small
