ERADICATION PROCEDURES<br />
The MOA, in consultation with its cooperators, methods and research agencies, will<br />
outline treatments to be used and must be notified of all treatment plans. If treatments<br />
selected or proposed are not in conformance with current pesticide labels, an emergency<br />
exemption can be provided.<br />
Eradication of any new PFF infestations is essential. The following provides<br />
approved procedures available for use in most situations. Local conditions will determine the<br />
most acceptable procedure or combination of procedures for achieving eradication.<br />
A. Eradication/Control Method Selection<br />
The following criteria will provide guidance for the selection of appropriate<br />
treatments to achieve eradication. Treatments suggested are the minimum recommended<br />
response to the criteria. Additional treatments can be applied if mutually agreed upon by<br />
cooperating agencies. Eradication measures will continue for at least two PFF life cycles.<br />
Trapping to verify eradication will continue for at least one PFF cycle after eradication<br />
measures have stopped.<br />
1. If two adult flies other than mated females are detected within<br />
a 9 km radius and within one estimated life cycle, the<br />
minimum response would be the initiation of ground applied<br />
male annihilation treatments.<br />
2. If the infestation criteria requiring regulatory action is met<br />
within an urban area, the minimum recommended response<br />
includes the initiation of ground applied male annihilation<br />
treatments, soil treatments, and fruit stripping. Similar fly<br />
detections in a commercial area may be treated as above with<br />
the addition of bait sprays. Bait sprays from the ground can<br />
be used in urban areas as well. The back pack airstream<br />
sprayers can make ULV type applications and have<br />
successfully eradicated fruit fly infestations in localised<br />
outbreaks.<br />

B. Recommended Pesticides<br />
1. Malathion<br />
2. Spinosad<br />
3. Diazinon<br />
4. Naled (Dibrom)<br />
Some pesticide bait, and lure formulations can damage painted surfaces, plastic, and<br />
some uncoated metal surfaces. Care must be exercised when formulating and applying these<br />
compounds. Possible damage caused by accidental contamination can be eliminated or<br />
minimized by promptly cleaning the affected surface.<br />
