Intervention Techniques - FLIES

Physical

• Electrical bug zapper
• Fly baits/paper traps that contains a fly attractant or (pheromone" called muscamone that attracts flies
• Light traps

Chemical

• Sprays containing pyrethrum
• Time release misters that dispense pyrethrum on a regular basis

Biological

• Fly predators are tiny, nocturnal, stingless wasps that lay eggs then use the pupa as food, thereby destroying the eggs and preventing them from hatching
  

Intervention Techniques- Cockroaches

Physical

• Seal cracks, crevices, holes in walls and floors with cement to close their hideouts and breeding places
• Destroy egg-capsules before they are hatched
• Cockroach baits
• Sticky traps
• Vacuuming
• Cold treatment for five days

Chemical

• Boric and dust
• hydramethylnon, abamectin of fipronil gel
• Aerosol or liquid products (common active ingredients include permethrin, deltamethrin, cyflethrin, and cypermethrin)

Biological

• Wasps attack the egg cases, adult and nymphal cockroaches
• Houses centipede - probably the most effective control of cockroaches, through most homeowners find the centipedes themselves objectionable
  

Intervention Techniques - RODENTS

Physical

• Rat traps
• Glue boards
• Bait Stations
• Ultrasonic Repellants
• Flooding out

Chemical

• Single dose bait poisons (strychnine, Zinc Phosphide, Scilliroside Glycoside)
• Multiple dose bait poisons (Bromethalin, Fumarin, Warfarin, Valone, other anti-coagulants)

Biological

• Sarcocystis singaporensis, a parasite native to Southeast Asia, significantly increases mortality or rats
• Introduction of natural predators

Intervention Techniques - WEEVILS

Physical

• temperature extreme
• modified atmospheres
• diatomaceous earth (may be less effective for adult beetles with hard exoskeleton)
• Pheromone traps
• mechanical forces

Chemical

• Surface treatments. (powders, paints, surface sprays) Insecticides (pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates, etc.) - long residual effects
• Space treatment. (aerosols, fogs, fine mists) Insecticides (pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbametes, etc) - quick knockdown
• Fumigation. (lethal gasses) Highly poisonous gaseous substances (Hydrogen Phosphide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Methyl Bromide, Ethylene Oxide)

Biological

• B.t. - Bacillus thuringiensis
