The foundations of selecting and specifying cars, devices and chemicals in the work of pest control:
1: Vehicles and Equipment:
First, the type of cars and equipment: The quality of cars and equipment used in pest control is determined based on two things. The first is the nature of the control work. For example, the engineering mechanical control work requires the provision of cars and specialized equipment for backfill and water suction (such as water suction tanks, small and large dumpers, manual backfill and leveling tools, and others). (, while the chemical control teams require the provision of cars of pickup types, and the second thing that plays a role in determining the quality of cars and equipment used is the nature of the work area. The mountainous areas require four-wheel drive cars, while the flat areas may be satisfied with cars with normal drive This reduces business costs.
Second, the preparation of cars: It is determined according to the number of field work teams for monitoring
And pest control that was previously identified, as well as for the project manager and supervisors. Each pest control team needs a car to do its work, taking into account the periodic maintenance and spare parts for these cars and equipment.
2: Devices and tools used in pest control:
First, the type of devices and tools: including a number of types specific to each activity
The common tools for insect monitoring and field exploration include (mosquito traps, fly adhesive tapes, traps, optical and carbon dioxide-equipped CDC).
The devices and tools that are recognized in the work of integrated management to control public health pests include (ordinary mist spraying devices that are carried on a car and on the shoulder).
A, ULV Sprayers, Car and Shoulder Handheld Micro-mist and Thermal Fog Sprayers, Pesticides Fogging Devices,
Common devices and tools for the laboratory classification of pests include (microscopes with different magnifications, petri dishes, paint brushes, glass funnels of different sizes, graded glass tubes, insect boxes, white plates, glass jars with covers, etc.), in addition to pest susceptibility testing kits. .
Secondly, the number of devices and tools: used in pest control, and their numbers are determined according to their coverage of the axes or sectors on the basis of which the area was divided, bearing in mind the development of a reserve quantity of them in anticipation of the failure of some of the valid ones or for use in emergency situations, as well as taking into account Maintaining it periodically and repairing what malfunctions from it.
3: Pesticides used in pest control:
First, the quality of the pesticides: the quality of the pesticides is selected according to
The procedures explained in the annual circulars regarding the instructions of the competent authorities in Abu Dhabi to combat public health pests and rationalize the consumption of pesticides issued by the authorities, and the approval of the competent authorities represented by the Environment Agency and Tadweer is required.
Second, the amount of pesticides used to spray insects:
It is preferable to purchase them in several batches during the year to ensure that their quantities do not exceed the need, to avoid poor storage and disposal, and to reduce costs and losses.
Basics of Business Execution: .v
It means the stage of implementing the integrated management of public health pests, according to what has been done
Agreeing on it in the standard bases and according to the best methods for monitoring public health pests
In order for this stage to take place in its best form, there are controls that must be worked out according to it
To get the best yield with the greatest possible preservation of the environment, as follows:
Controls for monitoring public health pests, the most important of which are:
Given the importance of monitoring and the role it plays in directing the work of pest control teams
Public health, it is necessary to focus on carrying out monitoring and exploration work
continuously
Controls for integrated pest management, the most important of which are:
In the work of controlling public health pests, emphasis should be placed on the use of methods
Environmentally friendly control) engineering and mechanical control that includes
Filling and suctioning swamps, using baits, adhesive tapes, and traps
Disposal of waste and other things, and biological control using
biological enemies of insect control,
A detailed and written daily routine plan for the control work must be drawn up, including the timetable for the control work, the number of teams, their exit times, and the number of
Cars, appliances, the quantity and types of pesticides consumed daily, and others.
Reliance on chemical control with pesticides should be reduced as much as possible in order to preserve the health of the population and protect the environment from pollution.
Taking into account the work of daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports of the control work to determine the progress of work and solve the obstacles and problems facing its implementation.
Taking into account the pest control work in times of peak activity.
Do not use thermal fogging in open places such as streets
And squares, public parks, etc., and confine it to closed places such as sewers
And sewage rooms and public toilets after evacuating and others.
Controls related to environmental and climatic conditions that limit control work from
The most important ones:
Lack of control at high temperatures because it works to break down the active substance
of the pesticide and prevent it from reaching the target pest, and high temperatures reduce
chances of pest infestation.
Rain, wind and storms because they do not allow the pesticide to reach the target pest due to
Mitigating it or moving it to another area other than the target, as well as the absence of mosquitoes
And flies in these conditions.
Dust seasons, as they have negative effects on the control devices and lack of access
The pesticide for the target pest.
The foundations of monitoring and evaluating pest control work:
Control work should not be carried out on a routine basis, but should be fully linked to the extent of the spread
Pests in different regions and different seasons during the year.
Tools needed to evaluate the control process:
and others. CDC Traps to measure the density of adult mosquitoes such as light traps
And traps to measure the density of flies such as tape.
Traps to measure the density of rodents such as wire traps.
General tips for pest control service:
It includes general recommendations related to achieving the best return on health pest control work
general are:
Gather information and prepare well before setting special conditions and specifications.
Selecting pesticides according to the requirements issued by the competent authorities in Abu Dhabi to combat public health pests and rationalize the consumption of pesticides.
Continuous evaluation and follow-up of the efficiency of pest control work and measurement of indicators
success and results.
Focus on using environmentally friendly pest control methods
Public health and reduce the use of public health pesticides as much as possible
In order to preserve the general health of the population and to protect the environment from pollution.
Continuous supervision of work teams to ensure that they are in their positions, perform their work, wear work uniforms and cleanliness.
Periodic inspection of pesticide warehouses to ensure their validity, storage and preservation in appropriate conditions.
Submit the annual report on public health pest control.
