HOW TO CONTROL PEST EFFECTIVELY? | ECOMONE GUIDE

-Introducing key points for pest management-

Insect are highly prolific, capable of multiplying hundreds of times in a short period
with only slight amounts of food. Being small, moreover,
they can create nests out of human sight and hide in food, making them difficult to discover.
Conventional management, instituting pest control measures after they emerge,
is therefore too late in many cases.

Small and highly prolific From just a spoonful of wheat (8 grams), approximately 70 larvae are produced by the egg-laying of one female. Egg Around 0.5mm Adult 2mm Polished rice 6 to 7mm

Before it’s too late, pest control needs to be brought in at the right time and place, and using optimal methods. Based on data obtained by monitoring, time, place, and methods can be decided, which helps make pest control more effective.

01. Forecasting timing of occurences & Discovery early outbreaks

By keeping ongoing records, determine the emergence period numerically

Detecting pests is not possible
until they infest products and
become obvious; and by the time
they are noticed, it’s too late

- Helps in selecting the timing of control.
- Detecting outbreaks at early stage helps prevent spread of damage

By keeping ongoing records, determine the
emergence period numerically

02. Understanding distribution of target pests

Numerically track the size of outbreaks in each location

When a single pest is detected, production needs to be paused and pest control needs to be applied on all floors. It takes a lot of effort and cost.

- Less chemical required.
- Less work.

Understanding the outbreak situation by figure.

03. Comparing data; before and after control

Numerically assess the effectiveness of pest measures

Constantly implementing pest
control measures makes it hard to
determine their effectiveness

- Helps determine the
effectiveness of control
measures
- Helps with ongoing measures

Numerically assess the effectiveness of pest
control

By using monitoring methods in such ways, the dynamics of insect pests and damage situation can be predicted scientifically, and
the effectiveness of implemented pest control measures can be assessed based on numerical data. Skillful use of the collected
data will enable effective pest control.

In conclusion Even if pest control efforts are taken non-stop day after day in attempting to reduce damage from insect pests, the actual effectiveness cannot be known without looking at data. It is important to obtain a visual picture of the pest control status through monitoring. Monitoring by itself will not eliminate insects. However, tracking the status of insect and checking the effectiveness of pest control on a regular basis are the best way to control insects. The pheromone traps of FUJI FLAVOR are the one of the monitoring tools that incredibly supports your pest control.
