The non-biting flies are one of the most important pest group because they are not only nuisance pests, but many are also important in disease transmission.
2) Flies feed on a variety of food materials but most of those of structural importance develop in either fermenting or decaying organic matter, although a few are parasitic on other animals. Fly control is often quite challenging because their larval developmental sites must usually be located and eliminated for success, and these sites may be some distance from where the adults are nuisance. Also, flies may invade the walls and attics of structures in large numbers to overwinter, presenting winter-time control challenge.
Phytophagous mites are plant-feeding pests that damage crops. Predatory mites in the family Phytoseiidae provide effective biological control by voraciously feeding on phytophagous mites like the two-spotted spider mite. Releasing predatory mites like Phytoseiulus persimilis at early signs of an infestation can suppress pest mite populations without the need for pesticides. Proper timing and methods are required to establish predatory mites and allow them to control phytophagous mites in an economical and sustainable manner without the pest mites developing resistance.

Cockroaches are highly adaptive insects that can survive on many food sources and in varied environments. There are over 4,600 cockroach species, but only 30 share habitats with humans, with the German, American, Australian, and Oriental cockroaches being the most common pest species. Effective cockroach control requires preventing access to food, water, and shelter as well as regular cleaning and maintenance to deny habitats. Monitoring with traps helps locate infestations and track treatment effectiveness. A combination of residual sprays, non-residual sprays, dusts, and baits applied according to label instructions can help control cockroaches, with baits being particularly effective as they allow slow ingestion of poison. Seeking
Millipedes and centipedes are common garden arthropods that differ in key ways. Millipedes have two or four pairs of legs per body segment and move in waves, while centipedes have one pair of legs per segment and rapid movement. Centipedes can deliver painful bites while disturbing millipedes rarely results in bites. Both play roles in the environment, with millipedes breaking down plant debris and centipedes preying on insects, though centipedes are more likely to enter homes seeking prey.
Carpet beetles are common pests that can damage fabrics, carpets, and stored goods. There are three main species in California - the varied carpet beetle, furniture carpet beetle, and black carpet beetle. They have similar life cycles of egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages.

Course Roof Rats What You Need To Know.pptxNanetteLaunius
Roof rats are medium-sized rodents that often live near humans. They can enter homes through small openings and like to nest in attics and high places. Roof rats can carry diseases like hantavirus and typhus that can infect humans. Signs of a roof rat infestation include droppings, gnawing damage, grease marks, and nesting materials in attics or on roofing. Proper inspections look for these signs and try to identify food sources and entry points to best target control methods.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is neither a new approach nor is it practiced by only a limited number of companies. It predates recorded history and is practiced universally. IPM differs from conventional pest control by considering threshold levels, applying two or more control methods, and taking a truly integrated approach considering all pests. The key steps in IPM are inspection, identification, establishing threshold levels, employing two or more control measures including sanitation, mechanical, cultural, biological and chemical methods, and evaluating effectiveness through follow-up inspections.
Course INSECTS and their Relatives (1).pptxNanetteLaunius
This document provides information about common household pests, including cockroaches. It describes the key characteristics of cockroaches, such as their segmented bodies, molting lifecycles, and nocturnal habits. Two common household cockroach species are discussed in detail: the German cockroach and the brown-banded cockroach. The German cockroach carries its egg case until hatching and prefers warm, moist areas near food, while the brown-banded cockroach glues its egg case to surfaces and is the smallest common household cockroach. Cockroaches can spread diseases and allergens if not properly controlled.
Carpet beetles and clothes moths are fabric pests that can cause damage to materials containing animal proteins like wool and fur. Carpet beetles lay eggs near food sources and the larvae then feed on materials like wool carpeting or pet hair. The adult carpet beetles fly and feed on pollen. Clothes moths also lay eggs on fabrics and the larvae then feed, with the webbing clothes moth creating temporary tunnels and the casemaking moth encasing itself. Both go through molting stages before pupating. Treatment involves vacuuming, applying residual pesticides, and freezing or heating infested items to kill all life stages of the pests.
Complete Green and Organic Pest Control (1).pptxNanetteLaunius
This document discusses green, organic, and integrated pest management (IPM). It defines green and organic pest control, noting that green does not have a set standard and organic refers specifically to using natural/low-risk pesticides. IPM is described as using multiple control techniques with lower environmental impact than pesticides alone. The 5 steps of IPM are outlined as inspecting/monitoring, assessing the problem, setting tolerance thresholds, implementing control plans starting with non-chemical methods, and evaluating success. Effective pest control plans involve communication between all parties, identifying pest tolerances, and only using pesticides as a last resort measure.
Complete Green and Organic Pest Control.pptxNanetteLaunius
This document discusses green, organic, and integrated pest management (IPM). It defines green and organic pest control, noting green does not have a unified standard. Organic refers to a specific process using biorational pesticides and IPM protocols. The five steps of IPM are outlined, including inspecting, determining tolerance levels, implementing non-chemical controls first before possible pesticide use, and evaluating. Non-chemical controls like exclusion and sanitation are described. Biological controls and low-impact organic pesticides that are considered biorational are discussed. Documentation and communication are important parts of any organic pest control plan.
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood. They hide in tiny spaces near where humans sleep. Females lay about 200 eggs over their lifetime. It takes bed bugs 4 to 9 weeks to develop from egg to adult. Inspecting for bed bugs requires a bright light and careful examination of mattresses, bed frames, furniture and cracks in walls and floors. Vacuuming is important to remove bed bugs and eggs, along with applying insecticide to hiding places. Multiple treatments may be needed along with monitoring to fully eliminate a bed bug infestation.
Rodents like rats and mice can carry diseases that infect humans. Diseases spread by rodent fleas and urine include typhus, plague, leptospirosis, and rat bite fever. Symptoms range from fever and muscle aches to meningitis and liver failure. Rodent control is important to prevent disease transmission through sanitation and removal of infected animals and their droppings. Secondary pests like fleas and mites sometimes remain after rodents leave and bite people, so exclusion and miticide treatment are also recommended.
Commensal rodents like rats and mice can carry diseases and pose health risks to humans. They can transmit diseases indirectly through fleas and mites or directly through contact with rodent excreta and saliva. Diseases spread this way include hantavirus, which affects the lungs; leptospirosis, which can cause meningitis, liver failure, and kidney damage; and typhus, carried by fleas. To control rodents and limit disease transmission, it is important to eliminate food and shelter, use sanitation and exclusion, and consult a pest management professional when needed.
Boron is a low toxicity mineral that is effective as a wood preservative when applied as a liquid mixture or foam. It is absorbed into wood where it kills insects and prevents decay by interfering with organisms in their digestive systems. Boron treated wood is also flame retardant, helping to limit the spread of house fires. Proper mixing and application are important to ensure boron is absorbed effectively without causing damage to plants. Equipment must be thoroughly cleaned after use to prevent boron from crystallizing in hoses and tanks.
COURSE Borates and the Facts About Wood (1).pptxNanetteLaunius
Borates are naturally occurring compounds that are effective insecticides and fungicides. They are derived from mineral deposits and are an essential micronutrient for plants. Borates have been used for over 100 years to control pests. When borates are applied to wood, they diffuse into the wood and provide long-lasting protection against termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and fungi by inhibiting their cellular processes. Borates provide a margin of safety for humans compared to insects due to differences in exposure levels and elimination rates.
Course Rodent Biology, Health and Disease (1).pdfNanetteLaunius
This document summarizes rodent biology and health concerns related to rodent infestations. It discusses the most common commensal rodent pests, rats and mice, including differences in appearance, reproduction rates, and behaviors. Key points covered include how rodents can spread diseases like hantavirus and leptospirosis through their urine and feces. Fleas that feed on infected rodents can also transmit diseases like typhus and plague to humans. Effective control requires removing food sources, sealing entry points, trapping rodents, and thorough cleaning to remove allergens and prevent disease transmission.
Rodents like rats and mice can carry diseases that pose health risks to humans. They can spread hantavirus through their urine and droppings, which can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Exposure occurs through inhalation. Rodents also pose the risk of leptospirosis and rat bite fever through contact with their urine or bites/scratches. Fleas that feed on infected rodents can transmit typhus and plague to humans through their bites. Controlling rodents and thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing areas they inhabited are important to prevent disease transmission.

Ants are social insects that live in colonies with different types of individuals specialized for different tasks. Most ants are wingless workers that forage, rear young, and defend the colony. Ants can be identified by their narrow waist and elbowed antennae. Determining if ants have one node or two nodes is the first step in identification. Common one-node ant species include carpenter, Argentine, odorous house, velvety tree, white-footed, ghost, and cornfield ants. Common two-node species include pavement, pharaoh, red imported fire, southern fire, thief, and bigheaded ants. Effective ant control requires locating nests, using baits, sealing entry points, and improving
This document discusses termite treatment methods and foundations. It covers that subterranean termites live in ground colonies and enter structures through foundations, while drywood termites infest wood without ground contact. Fumigation with Vikane gas is effective for drywood termites in all areas, while subterranean termites require foundation treatments applying termiticides along the foundation. Foundation types like supported, floating and monolithic slabs can influence where subterranean termites enter structures.

1. Filth-Breeding Flies
Several kinds of non-biting flies can be found in and around farms, residences, and food-handling
establishments. These flies can be harmful to health, causing annoyance and discomfort. All filth flies
have an egg, larva (maggot), pupa, and adult stage in their life cycle. The adult fly has 2 wings (the hind
pair is reduced to a knobbed balancing organ).
Filth flies are usually scavengers in nature and many are capable of transmitting diseases to man. Filth
flies can usually be grouped according to their habits and appearance as: houseflies and their relatives;
flesh flies, blow flies and bottle flies, filter flies, soldier flies, and vinegar (fruit) flies.
House Fly
The house fly, Musca domestica is one of the most common of all insects. It is
worldwide in distribution and is a pest in homes, barns, poultry houses, food
processing plants, dairies, and recreation areas. It has a tremendous breeding
potential and during the warmer months can produce a generation in less than
two weeks.
House fly eggs are laid in almost any type of warm organic material. Animal or
poultry manure is an excellent breeding medium. Fermenting vegetation such as grass clippings and
garbage can also provide a medium for fly breeding. The whitish eggs, which are laid in clusters of 75-
100,
Stable Flies
The stable fly is a blood-sucking fly which is of considerable importance to
people, pets, agricultural animals. Stable Flies primarily attack animals for a
blood meal, but in the absence of an animal host will also bite man.
Adult stable flies can fly up to 70 miles from their breeding sites. The stable fly
adult is similar to the house fly in size and color. The stable fly, however, has a
long bayonet-like mouthpart for sucking blood. Unlike many other species of
flies, both male and female stable flies suck blood.
The most practical and economical method for reducing stable fly populations is the elimination or proper
management of breeding sources. It is important to remember that stable flies cannot develop in dry materials.
Stable flies breed in three principal types of material:
* Green vegetation (e.g. green chop, silage, crop residues, and cut grass),
* Seaweed and Bay grass deposits and
* Animal manure.
Flesh Flies
Flesh flies are a scavenger fly species that usually feeds on carrion or meat scraps in
garbage. They are medium- to large-sized flies and usually have 3 dark thoracic
stripes and mottled abdomens. Many of the common species have a red tip on the
abdomen.
Flesh flies retain their eggs within the body of the female until they are ready to hatch.
The larvae are deposited directly onto the food the immature will be eating. The life cycle for the common
species can be completed in 8 to 21 days.
2. The preferred breeding media around residences are decayed flesh, spoiling meat, and manure. Usually
garbage can meat scraps and dog food left outside are abundant sources of flesh fly breeding. Flesh flies can
breed in dead rodents and birds in attics or wall voids of houses.
Blow Flies and Bottle Flies
There are quite a few species of blow flies and bottle flies which are found in and around residences. The
greenbottle, bluebottle, and bronze bottle flies are particularly abundant. In urban areas these flies may be
more abundant than house flies.
The blow flies and bottle flies usually have
a metallic blue or green color or both on the
thorax and abdomen. These flies are
strong fliers and range many miles from
breeding places. They are abundant during
the warm summer months.
Blow flies and bottle flies can breed on dead rodents and birds in attics or wall voids of houses. They usually
breed in meat scraps, animal excrement, and decaying animal matter around houses. The adult flies are quite
active inside and are strongly attracted to light. The mature larvae are often a problem when they migrate from
breeding areas to pupate.
Blow flies usually lay eggs on dead animals or decaying meat. Garbage cans have been known to produce
30,000 blow flies in one week. The life cycle usually lasts 9-21 days from egg to adult.
Filter Flies
Filter flies (drain flies), belong to the family of flies called moth flies. Filter
flies usually feed on slime in trickling filters of sewage treatment plants or
in drains of sinks. Usually filter flies breed in houses in the bathroom or
kitchen area. Adult filter flies have the body and wings covered with dense,
long hairs. The eggs of filter flies are laid where moist decaying organic
matter occurs (water traps in plumbing fixtures, dirty garbage containers,
and around built-in sinks). Larvae and pupae live in the decomposing film.
The life cycle from egg to adult is usually 1-3 weeks.
Filter flies can be controlled by locating and correcting the source of moisture. Timed aerosol space treatments
with pyrethrins can break the life cycle of filter flies.
Soldier Flies
The soldier fly is a widespread pest which occasionally becomes a problem
in homes. The adult is a large fly about 1 inch long with 2 large translucent
areas on the abdomen. The fly behaves like a wasp and is similar in
appearance to a mud-dauber wasp. The larvae prefer to feed on human or
animal excrement although they have also been known to breed in honey
bee colonies killed in walls of houses.
Most frequently the larvae are found in bathrooms migrating from the septic
tank or sewer line. The presence of the maggot under such circumstances
indicates the septic tank or sewage line is not working properly.
3. Fruit Flies
Fruit flies are nuisance pests and contaminators of food. Fruit flies usually breed in fruit, dirty garbage
containers, or slime in drains. Each adult lays about 500 eggs which hatch and the larvae mature to adults in 9-
12 days. These flies are readily attracted to fruit, vegetables, and soda bottles and cans.
Eye gnats are small flies, shiny black about 1/6 inch in length. The adults are
strongly attracted to moisture around the eyes and nose of people outdoors.
In mid-summer large numbers of eye gnats persistently hover around the
face causing considerable annoyance. Often eye gnats enter the homes
through open doors or windows. They are strongly attracted to light and
observed mainly on windows in large numbers.
They are noticed on vegetation and animal excrement. The life cycle varies
from 7-28 days depending on the They temperature and moisture.
Control of eye gnats is difficult. It is often hard to destroy breeding sites over the many acres of land where eye
gnats breed. For personal protection outdoors repellents may be applied to the skin. Indoors, space sprays will
kill adults which are trapped in the house.
Hump-Backed Flies
Hump-backed flies are about 1/8 inch long with a small head and
large thorax, causing the fly to have a hump-backed appearance.
Hump-backed flies breed in decaying vegetation, animal debris,
garbage and in ant and termite nests.
Non-chemical control can be obtained by sanitation, destruction of
breeding sites and moisture control. Hump-backed flies may be
chemically controlled by residual and space sprays.
Secondary Screwworm Flies
Secondary screwworm flies are about 1/4 inch long, green in color,
shiny abdomen and thorax with thorax marked lengthwise with
three dark stripes. Their life cycle is 9 to 39 days. They breed in
dead tissue surrounding wounds in animals, fresh cut meats, and
garbage. Secondary screwworm flies can be chemically controlled
by sanitation and destruction of breeding sites. Chemical control
may be obtained by residual and space sprays.
Control of Filth Flies
Regardless of advancements in chemical control, sanitation is still
the best method of controlling filth flies in and around the home and
on the farm. Flies seek breeding places where garbage, animal
droppings or vegetation residues accumulate. Locate and thoroughly clean such places. Dry, spread or
somehow dispose of dog, cat, or other animal excrement. Do not let garbage accumulate in the open and
make sure garage cans have sound bottoms and tight fitting lids.
Good fitting screens on windows and doors are essential in barring flies from homes, dairy barns, milk rooms,
and food processing areas. To kill flies inside the home use a space spray or aerosol containing pyrethrins plus
a synergist. Release the mist from the aerosol for a few seconds around the room and keep the room closed
for 10 to 15 minutes. Outside the house apply a residual or surface spray. Follow dosage and application
directions on the container label.
To kill flies in and around farm buildings apply a residual spray, an insecticide bait, or a larvicide to the
breeding areas.
