2. Mix materials on a plastic tarp to contain any splatter. 3. Using the closed mixing system, place 11.36 liters (3 gallons) of methyl eugenol in a container and add 1.57 liters (53 ounces) of Dibrom 14EC. Use an electric drill with a stirring paddle attachment to mix it thoroughly. Add 3.6 kg (8 pounds) to 4.53 kg (10 pounds) of Min-U-Gel slowly while mixing. 4. Using a funnel screen, pour the material into black plastic jugs and label, as required. 2. Aerial Proteinaceous Bait Spray Option Treatment or retreatment should not be considered if weather reports indicate a 50 percent or greater chance of precipitation within 48 hours. The objectives are to eradicate the pest and minimize environmental contamination. Any treatment or retreatment recommendations must consider these objectives. Application of full-coverage protein bait spray will be scheduled and applied 7 to 10 days apart. The area of fullcoverage bait spray will extend a minimum of 2.5 km beyond any known infestation. It may be expanded to 4.0 km from any find if the infestation is heavy. Weather conditions may dictate changes in spray schedule. After an estimated two PFF generations of negative trapping, spray operations may be discontinued. Ultra low volume (ULV) Malathion (Cythion)—71 ml. liquid volume (62.37 avdp g. a.i.) of 91 percent technical grade Malathion plus 284 ml. of Miller’s NU-LURE (protein bait) per acre. Research is underway at the present time to substitute Spinosad (SpinTor 2SC - Naturalyte Insect Control) in lieu of Malathion in protein bait sprays to control fruit flies. For further information about registration, efficacy and formulation, contact DowElanco, Indianapolis, Indiana. 3. Supplemental Eradication Methods a) Soil Treatment: Properties with confirmed larval infestations and the environs within 200 m will have approved soil treatments applied within a minimum of 1 m outside the dripline of all host plants and a minimum of a 1 m radius around any spot where host fruit may have 11
dropped or rolled. Take particular care to soak cracks or crevices in or next to barriers to horizontal movement of larvae (i.e., sidewalks, stones, etc.). Apply prescribed treatments at intervals stated in the specific exemption, as appropriate. Normally, the interval is 14-16 days. Diazinon--(Diazinon AG-500) 108 ml. (54 avdp g.) a.i. of 48 percent diazinon in enough water to soak 5 cm of soil over 900 m 2 (5.6 kilos of a.i./ha) to kill larvae, pupae, and emerging adults. Adjust water pH to 6.5 or less prior to adding insecticide. Diazinon--Work Diazinon 14 G 3-5 cm in into soil at the rate of 39 kilos per ha (5,6 kilos of a.i./ha) or 41 g. per 3.6 meter diameter drip circle (9.6 m 2 ). The area should be treated with water that has been buffered (6.0-6.5) to enhance percolation of the material into the soil. b) Ground Applied Proteinaceous Bait Spray: All hosts (available shelter, oviposition, or food sites in any stage of development) on the infested property, adjacent properties, and within approximately 200 m of the known find will be sprayed at the prescribed intervals. Ground spraying may be discontinued after an estimated two PFF generations of negative trapping or after the initiation of male annihilation or of aerial treatment. The bait may be applied as a limited coverage application to hosts and plants providing shelter or resting areas by means of a backpack sprayer or equivalent unit. Applications are sprayed out of reach of children or pets. If full coverage application is desired, a mistblower or similar unit can be utilized. Treatments are to be applied 7 to 10 days apart. Subsequent applications, if in orchards or groves, may be decreased by treating every other tree. Ground application of protein bait spray formulations historically have not significantly reduced infestations in urban areas unless it is done so on an area-wide basis in a centrally-coordinated fashion. This can overcome the failure to gain access to all sites requiring treatment, equipment constraints and timeliness of applications. If properly organised and carried out, such treatments can eradicate small outbreaks in urban areas. c) <strong>Fruit</strong> Stripping: All ripe preferred host fruit within 200 m 12
