  1. CFIA Surveys BC Update Troy Kimoto Plant Health Surveillance Unit, Science Branch

  2. Topics • Insect Rearing Survey • New detection survey • Municipal collaboration • High risk urban areas • Section 43 • Russian Logs to Golden

  3. Insect Rearing Survey • Historically • Wood packaging pathway - exotic borers • 1998 – 2008 • LFTs & lures • Primarily targets coniferous pests

  4. Designed by Lee Humble - CFS Cages – Lee Humble Mesh Cages (117 logs) Rearing Tubes 5 dollies 6 logs/dolly (30 logs: short & small) 147 logs

  5. From Russia With Bugs

  6. Section 43 • Issued by HQ (new staff) • Eight 20 ft containers • Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) – debarked/untreated • Norway spruce (Picea abies) - debarked/untreated • Montreal (Aug. 26, 2007) to Calgary → Golden (Sept. 7, 2007) • All logs unloaded at Louisiana Pacific • Tomicus piniperda (adult) • Orthotomicus erosus (adult) • Trypodendron lineatum (adult) • Cerambycid larvae; Buprestid adults • Sept. 12-13 destruction of logs (chip and burn) • Sept. 17 – Oct 30 (trapping → no non-indigenous) • Import for multiple shipments - cancelled

  7. Plans for 2008 • 70 traps • 5 reps/lure • Lee Humble (CFS) • CFIA • setup/takedown

  8. Plans for 2008 • Lures target potential insects of pine/spruce • E.g. Ipsduplicatus, Ipssexdentatus, Hylastes spp., Hylurgops spp. • Where possible use true aggregation pheromone • E.g. Ips typographus 97% (-)-ipsdienol instead of (+/-) • Traps and lures shipped to Vernon/Kelowna • Ground survey?

  9. Answer the Key Question Troy • CFIA has paid for lures/traps • CFIA offices in Vernon/Kelowna are unable to service traps • Trap servicing/sample submission options • Contractor (via CFIA)? • Contract with BC MOF? • Plant Health Survey Unit (CFIA) will fund project
