8-51 CHAPTER 8. NAVY ENTOMOLOGY AND PEST CONTROL TECHNOLOGY 8-53 8-51. Methods a. The aerosol should be uniformly dispersed throughout the space to be treated by directing it toward the ceiling of the compartment. b. Baggage compartments, wheel wells, and other areas where insects may find shelter on the outside of the aircraft should be sprayed after loading and boarding operations are completed and just prior to departure. c. On passenger carrying aircraft, cover or store all exposed food, food preparation and service areas, and cooking and eating utensils. After all passengers and crew are aboard, close all doors, windows, hatches, and ventilation openings. Spray the cabin, cockpit, and other compartments accessible from within the aircraft. The aircraft should not be opened again prior to takeoff. d. Where it is not feasible to carry an aerosol container on board an aircraft, the interior shall be sprayed just prior to takeoff. This applies primarily to one and two crew type aircraft. 8-52. Special Problems a. If a question arises as to whether disinsection has been successful or whether a special problem of insect infestation exists that is not amenable to disinsection procedures herein recommended, a request for assistance should be made by the vessel or aircraft commander. b. This request should be to quarantine officials at the sea or airport upon arrival or to the area DVECC or NAVENPVNTMEDU. The PHS Foreign Quarantine Branch may require disinsection beyond those of standard directives if an unusual or emergency situation exists. 8-53. Quarantine Procedures a. Quarantine procedures include measures designed to prevent dissemination of disease organisms infective to plants, animals, and/or man. Basic regulations and detailed instructions concerning quarantine procedures are presented in SECNAVINST 6210.2 series. b. By international convention, a Certificate of Deratization or a Deratization Exemption Certificate is required of vessels entering most foreign ports. The PHS or its appointed representatives can only issue a valid certificate. 8-62 9 Nov 2004
8-54 CHAPTER 8. NAVY ENTOMOLOGY AND PEST CONTROL TECHNOLOGY 8-54 SECTION VIII. PESTICIDE DISPERSAL EQUIPMENT Article Subject Page 8-54 Equipment Availability and Suitability........................................................................8-63 8-54. Equipment Availability and Suitability a. The requirements for pest control equipment are numerous because of the variety of organisms, their habitat, and the types of control agents that are to be dispersed. Depending on the control problem, pesticide dispersal equipment is available for meeting the needs of confined or broad areas, whether the requirements call for stationary, portable, vehicular, or aerial equipment use. Because equipment types are continually being modified or developed to meet specialized or changing needs, it is essential to contact the appropriate medical entomologist or applied biologist for recommendations regarding the most appropriate equipment, as well as its authorized use. b. Article 8-11, Pesticide Formulation and Dispersal, discusses formulations of pesticides, i.e., emulsions, suspensions, granules, etc., and types of pesticide dispersal, i.e., gases, aerosols, sprays, etc. Table 8-2 is provided for quick reference (see next page for table) on equipment types, formulations applicable, and best scenarios for use. Additional information regarding the use of equipment in the application of specific formulations, types of dispersal equipment, accessory platforms – vehicles or aircraft – required for transportation, advantages and disadvantages of each is discussed in this section. c. There are several factors used in determining which spray system will be used for a spray mission. The target area to be sprayed, its size, location, habitat, and accessibility are considered when determining which spray equipment should be used. The size of the area will determine how quickly it can be sprayed, if it can be achieved on foot, or if it requires ground transportation. The location may be adjacent to an environmentally protected area, requiring greater drift control that may eliminate the use of aerial spray application. If the habitat has thick vegetation, ULV penetration will be greatly reduced, thus making a residual treatment more effective. The target area may not be accessible by road or it may contain numerous flooded acres that cannot be penetrated by ground vehicles, thereby necessi-tating the use of aerial or manual sprayers. The availability and schedule of the required vehicle or aircraft is another important factor. For example, mosquito control is generally most effective from dusk to several hours after dark. If the desired vehicle or aircraft is available for spray missions at different times, vector control effectiveness will be greatly reduced, possibly necessitating alternative application methods. 9 Nov 2004 8-63
