Scientifically classified as :Kingdom AnimalPhylum Arthropoda Class Insecta

Arthropods for the biggest phylum in the animal kingdom and the class insecta contains between 1 - 10 million members!+80% of all the worlds known animals are insects

Body divided into 3 distinct segments viz. head, thorax and abdomen

Air taken in through spiracles [small holes along body] and circulated through tracheoles to the body organs

All have 3 pairs of legs and many have 1 or 2 pairs of wings and

Page 5: Insects  [training]

Fast breeding [ insect populations can increase 60 - 1000 x in a month]

Adaptable to changing environments and can survive adverse conditions

Cosmopolitan food consumption [ e.g. Tobacco moths eat spices, pasta, petfood, cereals and dried fruit as well]

Sexual attractant for male insects only. Pheromones naturally produces by the female. Often very specific i.e. red flour beetle

pheromone will not attract moth species. Act as a monitor – not a control measure Only trap some males – not all Should be replaced 4-6 weekly Do not place where they attract insects in

from outside e.g. by open doors Attract within a small range ~ 10 metres

Inform relevant personnel and commence immediate action plans - get pest contractor involved immediately

Isolate infested stock Inspect this and other areas to assess spread of

problem and real risk. Treat or dump infested goods [ Damage ] Treat site / structure - clean , move stock ,

chemical etc Monitor and review cause of problem and likely

source Modify operations to minimise risk of repeat

problem Monitor affected areas and stocks for 6 weeks

minimum

Page 82: Insects  [training]

Cultural Controls - changes to operation

Physical Controls - e.g. fly screens, heat

Chemical Controls - fogging , fumigation

Biological controls - predators, insect growth regulators [IGR’s]

There are ~300 species of ferment flies known Female can lay 500-1000 eggs Eggs hatch in 24 hours Larvae live for 3 days then pupate Adults are produced 7-8 days after egg is laid Adults can live for 30 days average Diapause can occur to allow winter survival 16 mesh proofing is needed to exclude adults Adults are strong fliers and light attracted

Page 92: Insects  [training]

Adults can live for 30 days Life cycle is 1-3 weeks Feed on decaying organic matter e.g. in

drains Slow flying and easy to identify –tent

wings Control is via cleaning and removal of

harbourages – cracks and holes near drains
