Determination of the origin of the pest, its distribution and extension
To determine the origin of the pest, as well as the causes of its possible distribution and extension, it is necessary to carry out a thorough inspection of the surroundings and the interior of the establishment. Specific:
- Outdoors; special emphasis is placed on the proximity of possible contaminating neighbors, location of garbage containers, gardens, ravines, etc.
- Inside , equipment, machines, etc. will be observed in detail. As well as false ceilings and technical floors.
Do not forget to inspect the raw material that arrives at the establishment (especially in the case of the food industry), since it is a common entry route for pests. The raw materials come from various suppliers, and if the establishment of this one is infested, the plague can be accessed by this means.
Factors that cause or favor the proliferation of pests
Each species of animal has its own biological characteristics, in terms of speed of multiplication, behavior, duration of the evolutionary cycle, survival potential, etc.
However, it is possible to establish a series of factors that enable its development and proliferation, such as:
- Weather conditions
- Environmental conditions
- Presence of nutrients
- Possibility of establishing shelters and nesting areas
- Absence of predators
Pest control measures
The next thing a pest control plan should include, once the species to be combatted have been identified and analyzed, is to establish the methods to be applied and propose the most appropriate periodicity to carry them out.
The indiscriminate use of pesticides caused the appearance of resistance phenomena . Numerous pests treated with pesticides became resistant to the mechanisms of action of these products, they stopped being efficient. These resistance phenomena and the high toxicity of many of the chemical products used created the concept of integrated pest control.
The integrated fight against pests is a globalized concept that includes the set of activities aimed at controlling harmful animal populations selectively and specifically, limiting, in turn, the impact on health, economic costs and environmental deterioration. The integrated control of pests focuses, first, on the application of preventive or passive methods: hygiene measures and physical barriers that prevent the entry of pests into the facility.
The methods to be applied, as well as the effectiveness of the same, will depend on the level of plague detected, its biological cycle and etiology of the species to be controlled, as well as the characteristics of the place.
In general terms, the pest control measures are:
- Hygiene measures
- Mechanical methods
- Physical methods
- Chemical methods (always as a last resort)
