DISINSECTIONS

• Introduction
• Cockroaches treatments
• Flea treatments
• Flies treatments
• Termite treatments
• Treatments for wood eating insects (xylofags)

INTRODUCTION

Disinsection is the use of scientific methods for combating arthropods (insects and arachnids) in its various stages, and the reservoirs or vectors of diseases.

            Disinsection must be methodical, following a predetermined plan; scientific, using the most effective, complete and not uniform, since for each arthropod must choose the most appropriate insecticide and more durable methods of operation. Also should consider whether we want a lasting, persistent, residual or immediate effect, but short-lived, as in the case of destroying flying insects.

            Given all this, the implementation of the treatments would be implemented as needed in each climatic period.

            We know the ecological niche and biology of each arthropod in question. Also we think that the destruction or complete eradication of an insect species is impossible and that we must alter all the conditions to prevent its development and implementation in the medium control.

            We turn now to elaborate a set of procedures that will lead to achieve the best possible control.

            A/ Mechanical:

            Would be the placement of physical barriers that prevent the arrival of insects to humans. Placement of metal mesh, mosquito nets, etc. So how close the drying of ponds, waste disposal, air curtains, vacuum cleaners, light traps and pitfalls of monitoring.

            B/ Chemical processes:

            Chemicals that are used to destroy the arthropods are called insecticides. A good definition of the word insecticide would be one that "results from contact, ingestion or inhalation death of the larvae, nymphs and adults from varied insect species, quickly," "that retains its physicochemical stability and hold this action", "which is not harmful to man or domestic animals deteriorates clothing or belongings."
           
We can classify them according to their ways, in choking, stomach and contact:

            - Methods suffocating. arthropod try to deprive the air needed for breathing. The best known are oil and mineral oils, especially for the larvae. His other insecticides adjuvant action is very important.

            - Insecticides stomach. They act by ingestion. They are rarely used to be the most widely used copper sulphate and formalin. Currently are of great significance for its format made "gel" that allows an application clean and without risk to health.

            - Contact Insecticides. They are those who penetrate the epicuticle on the basis of solubility in the lipoids of this. These are the ones that mostly would use in the treatment scheduled. Their physicochemical characteristics would be very stable against atmospheric disturbances, so that their performance would last months, high toxicity to insects, and are usually insoluble in water but soluble in fat.

Stages (general).

• Their life cycle has three stages: egg, nymph and adult, and it may take to complete in 2-3 months in favorable conditions.
• Adult insects mate 7-10 days after completing its growth and may live 9-10 months.

FLEA TREATMENTS

The flea is a parasite in humans and other warm-blooded animals (dogs, cats, rats, squirrels) who often act as vehicles of transmission of some diseases when they bite people and feed on their blood. Man Flea (Pulex irritans) was originally a parasite of the fox.

The flea is present both
in humans and other animals.

DESCRIPTION

Trafficking is a few millimeters in size (from 1-3 mm in length). The larvae hatch within 3 days, turning into pupae (non-adult of some species), being able to keep this way for weeks or even months to reach adulthood.

It passes from one animal to another, from one animal to a person or a person to another by jumps. Once you reach your goal begins to play, a fact that often carried out in areas covered with hair or fur, head, pubic, etc.

Their bite is painful and irritating, and can sometimes lead to more serious affectations. That is why preventing this pest has a major character remarked.

CONSIDERATIONS

From a medical standpoint, the fleas are considered as vectors of diseases such as:

• Plague (Yersinia Pestis)
• Murine Typhus (Rickettsia Mooseri). An infection by these agents require a differential diagnosis between different types of Rickettsia, since according to the agent will develop a disease or another type which will determine the treatment and prognosis. In this case, murine typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by the aforesaid agent and transmitted to humans by fleas. The clinical picture is characterized by fever for 9-14 days, headache (headache), a maculopapular rash (rash) that occurs on the fifth day and muscle aches (myalgia) The three most characteristic elements are: headache (headache), chills and fever.
• Dermatitis

There are several types of fleas, such as the so-called Tunga penetrans, which can dig into the skin and lodge in the tissues under the skin (subcutaneous), producing a painful and debilitating.

CAUSES

The cause or causes that may appear a flea infestation is usually related to:

• Poor personal hygiene and facilities.
• Living with untreated animals against different parasites, in this case against flea
• Living with people infected with fleas
• Proximity to forests, gardens, etc.., Where animals have been found carrying this parasite and the parasite has been able to stay

CARE

To combat the flea must perform and carry out the following:

• Maintain good personal hygiene and facilities.
• Clean frequently with a vacuum cleaner to remove eggs, larvae, pupae and adult insects from the environment.
• Spraying or spraying with insecticides, but the fleas have developed resistance to many of them.
• Keep dogs and cats clean with antiparasitic collars
• Spray or appropriate insecticide spraying of infected areas.

TREATMENTS FLIES

Morphological characteristics of the house fly:

Distribution: Muscus domesticus,i.e., house flies, exists throughout the world.

Public Health Importance:

The house fly is a carrier of pathogens, and mechanical can transmit enteric diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea, typhoid, cholera and intestinal worms. Table 1 summarizes the mode of transmission and symptoms of diseases transmitted by flies.

Table 1. Mode of transmission and symptoms of common diseases transmitted by flies.

Appearance.

• 6-9 mm. length.
• Grey opaque.
• Large eyes.
• 2 small antennas (sensors).
• Chest with 4 narrow strips.
• Yellow Abdomen.
• 2 wings without scales.
• 3 pairs of legs.

Stages.

• Their life cycle has four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult, and it takes about 3 weeks to complete under favorable conditions.
• The egg is white, oval and 1 mm. length.
• The larva is cylindrical, but as one of its ends and white, there are three stages of larva.
• The pupa or chrysalis is a stage of sleep.
• Adult insects mate 2-20 days after emerged and can live about 1 month total females lay about 500 eggs in groups of 2-7 eggs, four days after mating.
• The flies breed in a series of decomposition of organic matter in both animal and vegetable origin, including animal manure, human waste, garbage and food waste treatment and organic fertilizers.

TREATMENT FOR WOOD (VS xylophagous )

¿What do we do?

1º. First we will do and will make a full inspection of the building, room or area to control and treat, etc. for this form to determine the extent of pest or involvement and the nature of the problem.
       
2º. . We will be sure to look at all levels, from floor to ceiling, and in all parts of the place or area to be treated for signs of infection or involvement, as damaged areas, paths of travel, or other possible signs of activity termites.

3º. Identify the species present and this will help us locate the preferred locations for these and also the power to determine the type of control action to perform.

¿What do we use? Corpol, the system of protection against decay organisms.

It is a preventive and curative protective timber of the organic family.

Contains biocides (insecticides and fungicides) that protect the wood against destructive agents standing out for their anti-termite and anti-worms.

It has built intervening to give it a water repellent, and wood used in a specific moisture content, significantly improve the dimensional stability of these, giving them a hydrophobic character.

It does not alter the subsequent application of finishing products, and the behavior of bonded joints.

By not wetting the wood, makes no dimensional changes occur during the impregnation cycle, an effect that can produce another type of protection.

Corpol® is compatible with all common paints.
