- Title
High-Tech Snooping on Stored Food Pests.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a new monitoring method developed by U.S. Agricultural Research Service scientists and Orkin Commercial Division in Atlanta, Georgia, which uses a combination of trapping and spatial analysis to locate the moths and beetles, and their larvae, that can contaminate and damage stored food products. The data collected are entered into a computer that can construct contour maps that flag insect population centers needing treatment. The maps document pest number and movement and also demonstrate the effectiveness of control tactics to maintenance, sanitation and pest-control personnel.
