| Dairy/Poultry Pest ManagementIn olden days our country was recognised as “Sone ki chidiya” it is evident from the saying of that time that “Dudgh Dahi ki Nadia Bahati Thi”, but this status has changed with the time.
After Independence the country has again geared up the progress, but the olden days are yet to come. Along with the Industrial development the dairy industry has also flourished. The Korean Joint venture “OPERATION FLOOD” has given new height to the Dairy Industry and the milk production, the per child milk consumption has also increased though it is far behind when compared to that of European countries. The development in the dairy industry has also created some problems like nutritional standards, upkeep of live stocks, disease control in cattle, up grading of milking animals genetically, environmental pollution and the pest control problems in the production units as well as in the cattle yards. A variety of insect and mite pests affect the dairy industry in the country. House flies, stable flies, face flies, horn flies, horse flies, deer flies, cattle grubs, lice, and mange mites all are common and significant pests of cattle. Insect and mite pest activity results in lowered milk production levels and reduced feed conversion efficiency. It exposes cattle to pathogenic microorganisms and causes blood loss and hide damage. It can lead to public health–public nuisance concerns. Moreover, insect and mite pest pressure can add to stresses on young replacement animals, delaying their entry into production and adversely affecting lifelong production performance. As herd sizes increase on modern farms, pest pressures often are aggravated by large quantities of animal waste that must be handled and by crowded conditions that promote the spread of external parasites.
In the past, management of cattle pests often has relied on insecticide use as a single control tactic. But this single-tactic approach can aggravate insecticide resistance problems in pest populations and inadvertently destroy natural enemies of the target species.
Modern dairy producers are viewing careful use of pesticides into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. IPM programs seek to maximize the effectiveness of pest control actions while conserving beneficial insects and minimizing pesticide use. The cornerstone of effective IPM is correct pest identification along with accurate and timely pest monitoring. Other components are various combinations of cultural, biological, and chemical control practices designed to keep pest populations below economically injurious levels. |
 
Birds ControlThe birds not only damage the food grains in fields but also damage the stores appreciably (both qualitatively and quantitatively). Average consumption by birds’ ranges from 8-25 gms. Per day. Besides eating grains in the field and godowns, they are also responsible for spoilage, contamination with excreta, feathers and dead bodies. Some of them are responsible for spreading diseases. They also create nuisance by producing variety of unpleasant sounds and also create unhygienic conditions in and around the warehouses, stores, and buildings etc. Therefore it is essential to control the birds just to eliminate the losses caused by birds. | |
| Weed ControlWeed control is nearly always designed to prevent or suppress the weed infestation. Eradication is attempted only in regulatory weed program is in relatively small, confined areas such as greenhouse or plant beds.
Be sure that the plants are not susceptible to weed control i.e. Herbicides, generally, the more similar the desirable plant and the weed species are to one another, the more difficult is the weed control. For example broad leaf weeds are usually more difficult to control in broad leaf crops and grass weeds are often difficult to control in grass crops.
A plan to control weeds may include: Biological control, Cultural control, including sanitation, Chemical control, Integrated weed control |
Evaporation ControlThe meteorological report say that there is sever drought conditions occurs once in ten years and semi drought conditions once in three years.
In drought conditions, which occurs every third year people are forced to suffer from water scarcity. This scarcity results in extremely inconvenient and miserable life to the people affected and an additional expenditure of enormous money and resources. By adopting the evaporation control we can save 30% to 35% more water than available. Looking into million and million liters of water saving and the benefits people enjoy at the cost works out to be negligible The various trials conducted in the state of Maharashtra & Gujarat by respective Governments has shown very encouraging results in the form of reduction in the evaporation by 29% to 32%. | |
| Sterilization TreatmentSterilization is the most important pre operative operation and can be achieved with the chemical having broad spectrum of anti – microbial activity. This treatment is used in operation theaters and pharmaceutical plants for creating an antiseptic atmosphere. The dense fog of the chemical penetrates the most inaccessible places to destroy the microorganism. The whole operation can be completed within 6 to 7 hours thus ensuring low-shut-down time. |
Rodent ControlGenerally the rodents are described as commensal, field, urban, domestic and wild on the basis of their relations with man. They belong to class mammalia, order Rodentia and family Muridae.
They are very sensitive to light, smell and noise. They posses remarkable capacity to adjust themselves to any environmental condition and run about seeking food during any part of the day or night. Rats always like to run next to wall or the runways.
Rodents not only feed on grains, but contaminate 20 times more than what they consume, with their urine, hairs, faces and even some times with their own dead bodies. The estimate of food grains losses by rodents in our country ranges from 2-4 million tons to 26 million tons every year. There are more than 4000 species of mammals, of which about 1700 are rodents (Anderson & Knox 1967) of the rodents the family muridae contains the most species and of the genera the genus Rattus. However not all the 1700 rodents species are pests. About 150 species have been defined as a pest at some locality, to some crop at some time or another, but only 20 could be termed most important (Fall 1980). In connection with post harvest losses, the number of species occurring in and around human habitation drops to below ten. Classification Generally the rodents are described as commensal, field, urban, domestic and wild, on the basis of their relations with man. - Domestic Rodents - Living with man, examples are Rattus rattus and Mus musculus which nest and live actually in the houses with man.
- Commensal Rodents- Living on man but not actually with man. Examples are Rattus noregicus and Rattus frugivorus. Their habit of preying on main food and on his waste products drives them to enter the human habits but they do not remain or nest there.
- Field Rodents- Living on man but away from man. Example is Bandicota bengalersis.
- Wild Rodents- living without man, example Merianes hurriane. They avoid man, feed on wild plants.
There can not be definite classification. A single species in the same area can be both wild and field as the field and commensal or again field and domestic. Bandicota bengalersis a typical field species shows a tendency to move into towns and become a true commensal rat, while black rat can be both domestic and field. Nature and Extent of damages Rodent damages both way i.e. quantitative and qualitative and varied so extensively to make out any realistic estimate of the losses. However it turns into millions of dollars per year all over the world. The damage caused by rodents can be broadly divided into the following categories- - Food losses–storage & field
- Damage to articles of daily use
- Damage to structures and installations
- Public health hazards

| Wood Borer TreatmentThe most damaging animals that attack wooden structures are the termites. The beetles are the next most important group of insects, which attack wood on the basis of distinctive habits and the problem solving challenges the beetles rank near the top. There are 2 kinds - Those that will re-infest the wood they have emerged from until the wood can no longer be used and must be replaced.
- Those that emerge from wood after it has been milled and installed for whatever use it was intended, but for one or another reason can not attack the same piece of wood again.
Third in importance, depending upon geographical locations, are the bees, wasps and ants. There was an average of 82000 reports submitted by licensed Pest Control operators, subterranean termites were found in 43%, dry wood in 83%, wood rot in 21%, beetles in 2% and damp wood termites in less than 1%. In 41% of the inspections, faulty grade level was present, in 33% early wood contact was discovered and in 26% no infestation and no apparent conditions which could lead to an infestation were found. WOOD DESTROYING INSECTS Wood destroying organisms other than subterranean termite cause million of dollars in damage to wood product every year. BEETLES DAMAGING WOOD - TRUE BEETLES DAMAGING WOOD- (Family Lyctidae)
- FALSE BEETLES DAMAGING WOOD- (family Bostrichidae)
- FURNITURE AND DEATHWOOD BEETLES – (Family anobiidae)
- LONG HORNED BORER – (Family cerambycidae)
- FLATHEADED BORERS – (Family Buprestidae)
- BARK BEETLES – (Family scolytidae)
WASPS, BEES AND ANTS AS TIMBER PESTS - WOOD WASPS- (family – siricidae)
- CARPENTER BEES- (family – Anthophoridae)
- CARPENTER ANTS
SOURCES & CAUSES OF STRUCTURAL PEST PROBLEMS - Water and Moisture
- Soil types, textures, depths and chemistry
- Earth to wood contact

Termite TreatmentTermite-Fact Sheet
- 3,50,000 formosan, termite can consume 19 linear feet of pine studs per year.
- 60,000 eastern subterranean termites can consume 3 linear feet of pine studs per year.
- Colonies of formosan termite contain 1,000,000 to 7,000,000 workers.
- Colonies of subterranean termite contain 200,000 to 5,000,000 workers.
- Formosans can cover 21,780 sq.ft. in a colony.
- Subterranean termite can cover 14,520 sq.ft. in a colony.
- A colony or nest of subterranean termite may be up to 18-20 ft. below the soil surface to protect it from extreme weather conditions.
- Termites are undisputedly the most destructive of all structural pests. The National Pest Control Association estimates that termites cause 1.5 billion dollars of damage to structures annually and that an additional 1 billion dollars is spent on their treatment.
Pre Construction Treatment a. Pre Construction Anti Termite Treatment: IS: 6313: 1981-1991 (Part II) As per the Indian Standard Specification the above treatment is undertaken in five different stages as the construction work progresses. Which are as under – | a. | Bottom and sides of trenches |
| | b. | Backfill in immediate contact with foundation | | c. | Junction of wall and floor | | d. | Top surface of plinth filling | | e. | External perimeter of building | | |
| Curative Treatment (Fumigation)Fumigation is generally defined as a chemical treatment in which the chemical can exist in a gaseous state in sufficient concentration to be lethal to a given pest organism at a required temperature and pressure. Fumigant may be applied as gas (Hydrogen Cyanide and Methyl Bromide), as a solid which will evolves as gas (Aluminum phosphide and Magnesium phosphide) hydrogen phosphide i.e. Phosphine or as liquid (Ethylene-di bromide carbon tetra chloride). The earliest use of fumigation dates back to about 1000 years B.C. when “Sulfur Fumes” were used to disinfect ancient homes. However, it was only in 1854 that the use of carbon – di – sulphide and hydrogen cyanide for disinfestations was acknowledged. The advent of there chemicals gave rise to the modern concept of fumigation. To date fumigation offers one of the most effective control measures against varieties of stored product pests specially the internal feeders. Thus fumigation as a control technique may be described as the establishment of an atmosphere containing a Lethal concentration in the environment of an insect, with concentration high enough and an exposure period long enough to kill the insect. Present Status of fumigation – It was only about 30 years ago that fumigation, mostly with methyl bromide, or ethylene dichloride or carbon tetrachloride, began to be carried out in the developing countries. The introduction of phosphine generated by exposing solid formulations containing aluminum or magnesium phosphide to atmosphere has greatly simplified the application techniques so enabling fumigation to be used more readily. All fumigants used for fumigation are highly toxic and hazardous in nature, as such they are classified as Restricted use pesticides by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). This means that they should only be applied by or under the direct supervision of trained and certified fumigation operator. Personal - A basic requirement is that sufficient personnel trained to fumigation are available to carry out all necessary operations. All fumigation operations should be carried out in the presence of certified and approved fumigation operator by Plant Protection Advisor, Faridabad only. Advantage of fumigation - Fumigants are usually quick acting and an result in total control of pest.
- Fumigant can control all stages of pests i.e. eggs, larvae, pupae and adults.
- Fumigants being gases, they diffuse through all parts of the structure or commodity and can reach pests that could not be reached with conventional pest control materials or techniques.
- For certain commodities, fumigation is the only practical way is control pests.
- Fumigation has no adverse effect on germination quality of seeds except Methyl bromide.
Factors which influence fumigation– Sorption, Temperature, Grain moisture, Grain type and condition, nature and intensity of infestation, storage facility, air movement and dosage and exposure period. Fumigation methods - Vaults fumigation
- Structural (Building) fumigation
- Vacuum fumigation
- Tarpaulin fumigation
- Godown fumigation
- Outdoor fumigation
- Ship fumigation
- Container fumigation
- Flour Mill fumigation
- Air craft fumigation
- Spot fumigation
- Fumigation of Loose grains:
When and when not to use phosphine as a fumigant Phosphine is the fumigant of choice - When a commodity is required in not less than 5 days
- When khapra beetle is present and use of MBr is not mandatory.
- When oilseeds, expeller cake, and meals must be treated.
- Where germination is important.
- Where commodities have been treated previously with MBr.
- Where tent may be a problem if MBr is used.
