PROCEDURE FOR PESTICIDE

1.0 OBJECTIVE

To provide format and guidelines to participate in the implementation for infestation prevention and treatment of pesticides from areas in which manufacturing and packing are carried out or raw materials, Finished products or Packing components are stored. (Rodents, Insects, Cockroaches, Bed Bugs, Ants, House flies, Bandicoots, Mosquitoes, Flies, Lies, Mites, Picks)

2.0 SCOPE

This procedure is design to ensure the exclusion of Rodents and insects from all areas of the plant.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY

Pest control ( India Ltd. ) Jalgaon on yearly basis.

4.0 PROCEDURE

I ) DISINFESTATION

This treatment aims at controlling all crowling Insects, pests mainly Cockroaches, Bed bugs, Silver fish, Ants, Red & Black ants & Similar other crowling insects in the plant are carriers of pathogens of causing diseases like Gastric Enteritis, Cholera vibris etc.

Mode Of Treatment

The treatment will comprise of a suitable, residual spray in the external perimeter to arrest the ingress of insects, pests in to the establishment & also spray inside the rooms specially in all nooks & corners likely to harbour the pest. After the spraying it is advised to to shut the doors & windows atleast for 2 hrs. to get the desired result.

II) RODENT CONTROL

Treatment against rats, mice and bandicoots ;

Various species of rodents have different behaviour patterns, are very active at different times of the day/ night and are carriers of various pathogens causing diseases like Leptosirosis, Salmonellosis, Plague, Typhus fever, Trichinosis etc. Their active presence in human dwellings in general heightens the danger of contamination and infection.

The calls for a thorough knowledge of rodent behaviour, rodenticides and their proper use in a planned manner by highly trained and experienced technical personnel.

Our treatment primarily calls for the use of a relatively safe and highly effective single dose anticoagulant rodenticide “ROBIN” (active ingredient ‘BROMADIOLONE’ – manufactured exclusively by us in India and certified internationally as the best rodenticide in use) . Bromadiolone does not have the disadvantages that the other rodenticides have such as prebaiting, secondary poisoning and bait shyness. Our product is in the form of weather-proff wax blocas highly attractive and platable to rodents.

Mode of Treatment

The treatment would commence with strategic placement of bait to bring the infestation under control. Subsequently, We will be paying fortnightly visits to continue the baiting and keep a constant vigil on rodent population.

In addition to above, we would also be resorting to trapping, use of glue boards and treating of burrows if any, wherever found necessary.

II) FOGGING

Besides the common packing material pest like, Silver fish and fire brats, the most common pest found in Psocids. Psocids or book lice are tiny insects which are considered as a pest because their presence in or alongwith packing material contaminate the product.

The treatment comprises or proplyactic treatment with a suitable formulation followed by fogging with a thermo fogger. The fog reaches in cracks and crevices and other vulnerable places where liquid formulation sprays cannot reach.

III) STERIFUME

This treatment is a judicious blend of three ingredients that posses a broad spectrum of anti-microbial activity. It is blended in a right proportianto enhance the microbicidal efficacy of the formulation chemically the constituents possess aldehyde. Alcohol and glycols which are released in the area to be treated in the form of dense fog. This treatment has been recommended to destroy gram+ve and gram-ve bacterias, moulds and viruses.

The treatment also comprises of treating the open sufface including walls and floor with liquid disinfectans. Fogging is done to control air born infection. All ventilations, exhausts, A/C ducts etc. will be clossed prior to treatment.

After the treatment premises are to be kept close for minimum 6 to 7 hours to enable the chemical to have desired effect. This is curative treatment. The efficacy of this can be judged by taking air counts ( by Haffkine Ajintha Pharmaceuticals Ltd. ) before and after the treatment.
