Smart Packaging: NEW IPM CONCEPT Issue 108 Fall 2013 Routing: A Newsletter for the Insect Control & Pest Management Industry, est. 1981 Smart Packaging: NEW IPM CONCEPT By Jim Bagwell, President of ProvisionGard Technology Product Overview A new technology in pest management is an insect resistant packaging that is US EPA approved and FDA compliant for all types of food, feed, and seed packaging. ProvisionGard was designed to protect commodity for over one year from stored product insects and can be implemented easily at current packaging suppliers for pennies per bag. Designed for paper/woven bags and super sacks, it requires no labeling and safely reduces insect populations in and around your stored products. The following study demonstrates Stored product insects like this confused flour beetle feed on milled food fragments efficacy using common stored that contain the insect growth regulator methoprene. This will stop the larva from grain beetles: developing into a mature reproductive adult. Because the beetle is sterile, the pest population will decline. Methoprene is the active ingredient in new ProvisionGard. Studies are being conducted by the insect growth regulator (IGR) experimental dish, and there were the USDA-ARS and ProvisionGard methoprene (0.1 % active ingredi- 6 replicates for the inside and Technologies to evaluate residual ent) incorporated into the lami- continued on page 6 efficacy of packaging material with nate exterior of bag packaging.

Thermal disinfestation of stored grains by solar energy Shams Fawki1*, Walid Aboelsoud2, Ahmed El Baz2 1 Department of Entomology, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Abbasia 11566, Cairo, Egypt. 2 Department of Mechanical Power Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Abbasia, 11517, Cairo, Egypt. *Corresponding author: [email protected] DOI 10.5073/jka.2018.463.093 Abstract Chemical control especially fumigants is the most commonly used method to control stored-grain pests. A safer alternative for disinfestation is by heating up grains to a temperature of 50-60 °C. However, this alternative consumes high thermal energy due to the relatively high temperature required to achieve the required goal. Using solar energy as heat source for low temperature applications has become a viable mean for heating applications. Heating of grains using solar energy requires special design of grain storage system as well as development of efficient heat transfer mechanism to increase grain temperature over a limited period of time. The main objective of the current study is to use thermal disinfestation as a non-chemical, safe control method for grain management. A heating system based on solar energy has been developed as heat generator to control stored-grain insects. The target temperature range is 50-60 °C, which is enough to kill most of stored-grain insects.

Davies, Carolin Pfeiffer, and William H Robinson (editors) 2017 Printed by Pureprint Group, Crowson House, Uckfield, East Sussex TN22 1PH UK DETERMINING THE SOURCE OF HOUSE FLIES (MUSCA DOMESTICA) USING STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSIS KATHARINA HEINRICH, HOWARD BELL, AND ROBERT WEAVER Fera Science Ltd (Fera), National Agri-Food Innovation Campus, Sand Hutton, York, YO41 1LZ, UK Abstract Intensive livestock units frequently produce flies in large numbers that, on migration, cause nuisance to the occupants of neighbouring dwellings.The resolution of such problems is often reliant on the unequivocal identification of the origin of the flies, particularly when several potential sources exist. This study evaluated stable isotope analysis as a method for differentiating adult house flies (Musca domestica (L.)) on the basis of their dietary history so as to determine their likely source. Flies were reared in the laboratory on several substrates, including chicken and cattle manure, laboratory diet and household vegetable waste. Different fly parts (wings, heads, and legs) and whole flies were analysed immediately after eclosion and after 10 days. The δ13C and δ15N values for adults that had developed on each diet type were highly distinct. Stable isotope analysis, therefore, shows potential to be employed to determine the likely source of various nuisance insects, and to contribute to the abatement of such problems. Key words Nuisance insects, stable isotopes, EA-IRMS, intensive livestock, dietary history INTRODUCTION House flies (Musca. domestica), and other muscids, are a perennial problem associated with intensive livestock rearing facilities throughout the world. Flies also emerge from a range of other sources, notably domestic waste, carcasses and landfill sites.

The frst comprehensive phylogenetic study of Scleroderminae with all 30 valid genera is presented. It is based on 138 morpho- logical characters. Phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of the subfamily Scleroderminae. All genus-level clades are monophy- letic, except Cephalonomia. The extensive homoplasy across the topology is regarded as evidence of the high morphological diversity in the subfamily. Thlastepyris marquisensis stat. et comb.n. are transferred from the bethyline subspecies Sierola depressa marquisensis with species status. The traditional characters historically used in the taxonomy of Scleroderminae were mapped onto the new topology, such as body fatness, number of fagellomeres, size shape of wings and the length of 2r-rs&Rs vein of the forewing, and were shown to be highly homoplastic.

Monitoring was carried out for a whole year, from April 2015 to March 2016. The purpose was to verify the possible presence of infestations of the stored goods within the building by pest species and to evaluate the possible correlation between environmental parameters found within the various areas examined and the density of the pest species found. Several pest insects were found in the library but only the beetles of the family Dermestidae can be regarded as particularly harmful and dangerous. This family was present with the genera Attagenus and Anthrenus. The presence and the frequency of other pest organisms (silverfish, booklice and isopods) can be kept under control by monitoring the environ- mental parameters. Psocottera were represented by the genera Liposcelis and Dorypteryx. More dangerous pest species such as anobiids, termites, cockroaches or rodents were not found in the library.

  • Practical Use of Braconid Wasps for Control of the Common Furniture Beetle (Coleoptera: Anobiidae)
    367 Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Urban Pests Matthew P. Davies, Carolin Pfeiffer, and William H Robinson (editors) 2017 Printed by Pureprint Group, Crowson House, Uckfield, East Sussex TN22 1PH UK PRACTICAL USE OF BRACONID WASPS FOR CONTROL OF THE COMMON FURNITURE BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: ANOBIIDAE) 1STEPHAN BIEBL AND 2JUDITH AUER 1Ingenieurbüro für Holzschutz, Mariabrunnweg 15, 83671 Benediktbeuern, Germany 2Ostendstrasse 132, 90482 Nürnberg, Germany Abstract This paper will show the practical use of a braconid wasp species (Spathius exarator) as a biological control method for Anobium. punctatum. The parasitic wasp parasitizes its host by piercing its ovipositor directly through the wood surface followed by oviposition onto the furniture beetle larva. Adult wasps emerge through a 0.5 mm wide hole, which can be distinguished from the 2 mm wide hole of A. punctatum. With the consultancy of an official expert for wood protection, the infestation of A. punctatum and the use of the braconid wasp S. exarator were controlled from 2014 till 2016 in a castle church (Schloßkirche Ellingen). Success was based on the count of new exit holes of wasps and furniture beetles on defined areas. The results of the three-year treatment period with the braconid wasp species showed improvement with a decrease of up to 80% emerging furniture beetles on monitored areas. The results of another representative chapel N., treated with S. exarator for two years, demonstrated a decrease of up to 100% emerging beetles with a slight rerise of A. punctatum activity after five years. These results show the promising state of affairs of biological control with the host-specific braconid wasp for A.

  • A Case of Stings in Humans Caused by Sclerodermus Sp. in Italy Roberto Amerigo Papini
    Papini Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases 2014, 20:11 http://www.jvat.org/content/20/1/11 CASE REPORT Open Access A case of stings in humans caused by Sclerodermus sp. in Italy Roberto Amerigo Papini Abstract In the last years, stings of Sclerodermus species in humans have been sporadically reported in Italy. In order to draw attention to these bethylid wasps of medical importance, we report the case of documented Sclerodermus sp. stings on the dorsum, abdomen, arms, and thighs of a 40-year-old man and his wife. The sting sites developed raised red itchy rash. The source of environmental contamination was identified in a worm-eaten sofa purchased from a used furniture dealer and placed in the living room about a month and half earlier. The lesions on the man and his wife rapidly healed within 3 to 4 days once they left the house and treatment for the lesions was instituted. Physicians, dermatologists, medical and public health entomologists, as well as specific categories of workers should be aware of the risk of exposure to Sclerodermus stings.
