			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there are bugs in your flour and cornmeal, then it points to the presence of pantry moths or weevils. In order to keep the pantry moth or weevils away, it is recommended to do a good housekeeping as a measure of prevention in first place. Both the moths and weevils do not like clean surroundings so if you want to protect your pantry, you need to minimize the accessibility of food to these bugs. You should always check for infestation by examining all food packages for various signs of moth or weevil infestation. It includes webbing in corners, small holes in containers or clumping of grains together with sticky secretions. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image15.png"><img title="Controlling Pantry Moths or Weevils" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="215" alt="Controlling Pantry Moths or Weevils" src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb15.png" width="250" align="right" border="0" /></a> In case, you spot an infestation, you should clean the infested areas with Vacuum cupboards. After that you should scrub all shelves with soapy water thoroughly and pay close attention to cracks as well as corners. You should also dry the cleaned area completely and always try to maintain the cupboard and food-storage areas dry. You should immediately discard the infested food. You also need to look for little moths flying around the kitchen or small bugs in the food.</p>
<p>You need to store the food properly and clean containers with hot and soapy water. After that you should rinse and dry them completely prior to refilling it. You should use tightly sealed glass, metal or hard plastic containers for storing the food. You should avoid the plastic bags as they are insufficient as insects can make their way through them. You should separate the old and new food from each other. Also, keep the not so used items in the freezer. You should eliminate the pest’s food sources and breeding grounds. You should not try to use pesticides in any area where the food is prepared or kept.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pest control businesses are those that focus on the removal, management, and killing of pests including animals, insects and even plants. The pest control industry is usually divided into two distinct branches including the residential branch and the agricultural branch. The Agricultural pest control aims at keeping crops free from the harmful pests that contaminate the supply or eat the crops. The residential pest control is related to keeping living spaces and commercial spaces pest free. A large number of techniques are used for the agricultural pest control such as laying pesticides and eliminating the destructive populations of insects and animals by hunting, trapping and introducing the rival species. Pest control also uses the strategies like crop rotation, selective breeding and intercropping. There are many crops which are susceptible to pests like cotton which are genetically engineered for resisting pests.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image14.png"><img title="Pest Control Businesses" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="300" alt="Pest Control Businesses" src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb13.png" width="300" align="right" border="0" /></a> The residential pest control is organized on a smaller scale as compared to agricultural pest control, although some techniques are usually similar. The pest controllers are able to manage a pest infestation by using smaller quantity of pesticide, using preventative coating and baiting traps. In case of serious infestation, the pest controllers may require to vacate the human populations from the space and complete the entire area with pesticide. The homes and businesses which are treated are covered traditionally in a striped tarp for keeping the pesticide in the space and keep the people away from damaging levels of poison.</p>
<p>The pest control business eliminates the pests from our living space and work space; however the excess usage of the pests may results in disastrous results. The poisonous effects of the pesticides are many and sometimes they kill the normal plants and animals in addition to the pests. One should be wary of this fact and uses only the recommended doses of the pesticides. Also, it is required to take precautions and follow the instructions thoroughly that are labelled on the pesticides packages. After the usage, the disposal of the pesticides should also be done in proper manner so that they do not harm the environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The classical biological control means the introduction of natural enemies to a new location where they do not occur naturally. They originate from other place and introduced to new locales. It is usually done by the government authorities. In many examples, the complex of natural enemies related with an insect pest is not sufficient. It is especially evident when there is an accidental introduction of an insect pest into a new geographic area in absence of its associated natural enemies. These introduced pests are called as exotic pests.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image7.png"><img title="Classical Biological Control" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="285" alt="Classical Biological Control" src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb7.png" width="213" align="right" border="0" /></a> Scientists refer to the classical biological control for obtaining the required natural enemies. It includes the practice of importing, and releasing natural enemies for establishment so as to control an introduced (exotic) pest. This is practiced against native insect pests also. The first step in the process is the determination of the origin of the introduced pest followed by collection of proper natural enemies that are linked to the pest or closely related species. Then, a natural enemy is passed through a meticulous quarantine process for ensuring no unwanted organisms got introduced. They are produced on mass scale and released. It is followed by various follow-up studies to ensure the successful establishment of natural enemy at the site of release, and to measure its long-term benefits</p>
<p>There have been numerous successful examples of classical biological control programs. In 1800, the cottony cushion scale known as Icerya purchase, was controlled by using classical biological control programs. A predatory insect Rodolia cardinalis (the Vedalia Beetle) and a parasitoid fly were introduced by Charles Valentine Riley from Australia. The cottony cushion scale was completely controlled within a few years by these introduced natural enemies. The classical biological control is inexpensive and long lasting. Once, a natural enemy is established successfully, it rarely needs an additional input and continues to kill the pest without any human help. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The predators are also used for the biological control of pests. The bio-control dealers have the lacewings. The ladybugs and their larvae are usually active between May and July in the northern hemisphere and act as an insatiable predator of aphids like greenfly and black fly. They consume mites, scale insects as well as small caterpillars. The ladybug is a beetle with coloured markings and its larvae are initially small and spidery that grows up to 17 mm long. The larvae usually have a tapering segmented grey or black body. They have orange and yellow markings along with ferocious mouthparts. By cultivating a patch of nettles in the garden and leaving hollow stems as well as some plant debris allows them to hibernate.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image49.png"><img title="Use of Predators in Biological Control of Pests" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="264" alt="Use of Predators in Biological Control of Pests" src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb49.png" width="396" align="right" border="0" /></a> The hoverflies looks like darker bees or wasps with a characteristic hovering and darting flight patterns. There are more than 100 species of hoverfly whose larvae chiefly feed upon greenfly with larva devouring up 1000 in its lifetime. They also eat small caterpillars and fruit tree spider mites. The adults feed on nectar and pollen required for egg production. The larvae are usually 8–17 mm long that are disguised to look like bird droppings. They do not have distinct head and are legless. They are semi-transparent in a various range of colours such as green, white, brown, and black.</p>
<p>The hoverflies are encouraged by cultivating attractant flowers like the poached egg plant (Limnanthes douglasii) and marigolds or phacelia across the growing season. The dragonflies are major predators of mosquitoes in the water where the dragonfly naiads consume mosquito larvae, and in the air where adult dragonflies eat adult mosquitoes. The community-wide mosquito control programs focuses on spraying adult mosquitoes, however it kill dragonflies and thereby eradicating the major bio-control agent. It eventually leads to increase in mosquito populations in the long term.</p>
<p>Apart from these, the other useful garden predators are lacewings, aphid midge, centipedes, predatory mites, pirate bugs, rove and ground beetles. The larger fauna like toads, lizards, frogs, hedgehogs, and birds. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some pesticides which are banned in India. The CIB &amp; RC examines and periodically reviews all pesticides and their usage. Some of them are banned from registration itself. In some cases, a pesticide gets banned even after the registration procedure if it leads to serious environmental or public health concerns. Some pesticides are designated for &quot;restricted use&quot;. These are used for prescribed purposes and by authorised personnel after obtaining the appropriate Government license.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image48.png"><img title="Pesticides " style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="253" alt="Pesticides " src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb48.png" width="383" align="right" border="0" /></a> There are basically two forms of Pesticides available including concentrates and ready-to-use (RTU). The Concentrates are required to be mix in recommended doses with solvents like water or other carriers for achieving a diluted liquid that can be injected, sprayed, or applied to target areas. Some concentrates come in powder form and they are mixed with a bait material prior for its usage in case of rodenticide. The concentrates as well as RTUs come in various form like liquid, gel, powder (dust), cake or granular form. These are easy to apply through various ways like sprayers, dusters, manual placement or specialised applicators. It is advised to use all RTU pesticides that are available over the counter after carefully reading the label instructions. </p>
<p>There are some household pesticides that are used only for professional means. The concentrates which are used by professional pest controllers cannot be used as such because of their toxicity. To get the intended dosage on target, technicians are required to mix these concentrates with a carrier such as water or solvent and then spray. This mixing needs to be done in dosages recommended by pesticide manufacturers as mentioned on the label. The RTU products should only be used at home after carefully reading the label instructions. Professional pest managers from a well known company are well suited for carrying out pest control in the home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The integrated pest management (IPM) involves regular monitoring for determining when pest management treatments are required. It utilises physical, biological, mechanical, cultural, and educational tactics for removing the pests. As a rule, the least-toxic pest control methods are used applied as a last resort for eradicating the pests. The complete elimination of a pest is usually expensive and is not possible in some cases. The various types of damage inflicted by the pests include economic, medical, and aesthetic damages. Also, one needs to think, how much damage is tolerable or whether a creature needs to be regarded as pest or not.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image5.png"><img title="Integrated Pest Management" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="340" alt="Integrated Pest Management" src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb5.png" width="409" align="right" border="0" /></a> There are various steps for achieving Integrated pest management. First one is the identification of pest. In case you want to kill a pest, then you need to identify it, however if you want to use least-toxic pest control then you require to comprehend the role played by pests in relation to its environment. It is referred to as an ecosystem perspective and it will give you more pest control alternatives. Secondly, you need to manipulate the Pest&#8217;s Ecosystem Components like limited access to food, limited access to shelter, Limiting energy by moving the food source far from the habitat of pest, encourage natural enemies, and reducing the carrying capacity of a site and increasing the carrying capacity of the natural enemies of the pest.</p>
<p>You need to utilize the Natural Pest Controls as effective as possible. It includes the proper application of Climate &amp; Weather, Pathogens, Food &amp; Habitat, Predators and Parasitoids. You also need to select a treatment Strategy as an overall approach to a problem and choose a Tactic as a specific action or range of actions that follows the strategy. Some of the popular tactics include </p>
<p>IPM Program Components Monitoring, Evaluation and Program Redesign and Determining Injury Levels Applying Strategies and Tactics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term pesticide refers to the substance used for elimination of the pest such as insects (insecticide), weed or herb (weedicide or herbicide), bacteria (bactericide), acarid (acaricide), bird (avicide), rodent (rodenticide), fungus (fungicide), virus (viricide), germs (germicide), microbes (microbicide), and others. It can be stated thart all insecticides are pesticides; however all the pesticides are not essentially insecticides. The insecticides are grouped as per their usage against specific insects like termiticides against termites or according to the stages of their growth like larvicides against larvae or adulticides against adult mosquitoes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image47.png"><img title="Pesticides" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="267" alt="Pesticides" src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb47.png" width="400" align="right" border="0" /></a> Most of the pesticides are chemicals that possess a toxic effect on their target pest. However, they differ in their mode of action and are designed for targeting the pest on the basis of its biology and behaviour. Some pesticides are stomach poisons that are ingested by the pest while some are contact poisons that kill pests when target comes into contact with the poison and it enters their body via the skin or other body openings. Some pesticides interfere with the process of blood coagulation, while others affect the nervous system. There are some non-toxic pesticides like Insect Growth Regulators or IGRs that do not directly kill the pest but interfere with its growth and thus preventing it from leading a normal existence resulting in death. All pesticides have label instructions with specifications about the recommended dosage.</p>
<p>In India, the usage of insecticides is regulated by the India law comprising of The Insecticides Act, 1968 and Insecticides Rules, 1971. These acts manage and control the import, transport, registration process, manufacture, distribution, sale, and use of insecticides so that it does not poses risk to human beings or animals others, across India. All pesticides are required to undergo the registration process with the Central Insecticides Board (CIB) &amp; Registration Committee (RC) prior to their availability for use or sale. In short, all insecticides (pesticides) in India are listed on the &quot;Schedule&quot; of the Insecticides Act, 1968. The Registration Certificate mandates that there should be proper label on the packaging indicating the nature of the insecticide, active ingredient, target pest(s), composition, recommended dosage, safety precautions and other details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Humans have been using the pesticides since before 500 BC for the preventing the damage to their crops. The first pesticide was sulphur and various toxic chemicals like arsenic, mercury and lead were being applied to crops for killing pests by 15<sup>th</sup> century. Nicotine Sulfate was extracted from tobacco leaves in 17<sup>th</sup> century for its use as an insecticide. In the 19th century, the two more natural pesticides were introduced including pyrethrum and rotenone that were derived from the roots of tropical legumes. Paul Müller found in 1939 that DDT was a very effective insecticide. It quickly became the most widely-used pesticide throughout the world. However, in the 1960s, DDT was found to prevent many fish-eating birds from reproducing and thereby poses a big threat to biodiversity. DDT was also found to result in birth defects in animals and humans. As of now, DDT is banned in many countries and in developing nations it is used for killing mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects that causes malaria and other tropical diseases. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image46.png"><img title="Pesticides " style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="280" alt="Pesticides " src="http://www.pestcontrol.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/image_thumb46.png" width="373" align="right" border="0" /></a> The use of pesticide has increased many fold since 1950, and approx 2.5 million tons of industrial pesticides are used each year. Glyphosate is currently the most used herbicide in the world. Prior to applying a single dose of pesticide, Gardeners should read and follow the instructions by manufacturers carefully those were printed on the container and label. It is recommended to store pesticides carefully in a secured location.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Neem oil is produced by pressing the seeds obtained from neem trees. It is used as an organic insecticide spray and is widely applied in the field of medicines and cosmetics industry. It disrupts the hormonal balance of insects so they die prior to developing to the next life stage. As per the EPA, Azadirachtin and Clarified Hydrophobic Extract of Neem Oil are extracted from the natural oil found in seeds of the neem tree. After removing the natural neem oil from the seeds, it is treated with alcohol to separate almost all of the azadirachtin and related substances from the oil. The remaining oil left without the azadirachtin is known as Clarified Hydrophobic Extract of Neem Oil. Azadirachtin has multiple uses such as deterring certain insects like locusts from feeding and interfering with the regular life cycle of insects such as feeding, mating, molting, and egg laying.</p>
