Disinsection is a set of measures aimed at the destruction or reduction in the number of insects that are carriers of infectious diseases. Insect control measures:
1. Sanitary – preventive, the purpose of which is to minimize the number of places suitable for habitation and resettlement of insects, as well as to prevent their entry into the premises (high-quality cleaning, proper storage of food, timely repair work, etc.).
2. Extermination, the purpose of which is the complete destruction of insects in buildings, territories or a steady decrease in their numbers.
For these purposes, the following methods of struggle are used:
- mechanical (traps of various types, sticky tapes);
- physical (scalding, freezing, ultraviolet traps);
- biological (use of viruses, bacteria, fungi, helminths, birds, mammals, etc.);
- chemical (use of chemicals – insecticides).
IPM
CPG practices a comprehensive approach to pest control – IPM.
IPM is a comprehensive approach, a comprehensive, continuous and active cycle of the three most important measures focused on prevention, including:
- assessment of the situation through a thorough inspection (Inspection);
- implementation of control measures with and without chemicals (Prevention);
- monitoring the effectiveness of the program (Monitoring).
This environmentally responsible approach, introduced by world leaders in the field of Pest Control, is now available in Poland. A
