  1. CONTRACTED PEST MANAGEMENTPOST FQPARon DurhamIndustrial Fumigant Company

  2. CAN IT BE DONE? • IPM re-evaluation • possible new products/ use of old • Cost factor • Alliances (Pesticide manufactures and customers)

  3. LOSS OF KEY PESTICIDES • Organophosphates (OP) • Carbamates (CB) • Insecticides and B-2 chemicals ( potential carcinogens)

  4. ORGANOPHOSPATES • Approximately 40 registered for use on the market. • Label changes/Cancellations • Profitability of a market

  5. PESTICIDES • OP and CB insecticides do not disrupt biological control organisms for damaging secondary pests. (mites, aphids leafhoppers) • Rapid change to synthetic pyrethroids may be alternative for some pest, but could result in secondary pest outbreak. • (More use of insecticides and miticides)

  6. KEY PESTICIDE RETENTION • Non-food use also vulnerable • Elimination of registration may make room in the “risk cup” for food registration • Minor crop alternatives? • Registration expense

  7. INTERGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT • No IPM program we are familiar with has consistently avoided the use of pesticide for population control. • Prediction of the impact of IPM by FQPA is not a simple process, but varies across the production systems.

  8. IPM UNDER FQPA • Principal risk is implementation of FQPA before alternatives are available to IPM programs. • Unintentional consequences could be broad scale collapse of IPM systems.

  9. PEST CONTROL INDUSTRY • What new products are available and at what cost • Additional chemical application and cost • How do we adjust and educate our customers and our business • IPM and Sanitation • Increased import issues

  10. PEST CONTROL INDUSTRY • Fogging • Limited use pesticides/frequency • Heat treatment
