AEPMA  Branch Update 

QLD AEPMA Branch Update – Peter May Branch Secretary

The last Qld AEPMA Branch General Meeting was held on 17th February 2022 as a virtual event.  John Murray chaired the meeting with agenda items focused on Qld Pest Management Regulations, Qld Red Imported Fire Ant program, West Indian Drywood Termites, and Training.  Minutes of the meeting have been circulated to members.

Qld AEPMA has had ongoing contact with Qld Health as part of consultation in the drafting of the Qld Medicines and Poisons (Pest Management, Poisons, and other Regulated Substances) Regulations 2019, the final version of which were released in September 2021. AEPMA had a further opportunity to request amendments to the Regulations in a virtual meeting held on 22/3/2022.  At this meeting AEPMA sought to clarify the need for Activity Risk Management Plans, the definition of High Risk and Sensitive sites, and interpretation of other wording in the Regs. This meeting also offered AEPMA the opportunity to raise issues regarding the time taken for online processing of pest management licenses; and to comment on the Qld Health publication “The Guide to What Pest Managers Need to Know in Queensland”. Qld Health was receptive to AEPMA’s contributions and concerns and undertook to consider and address the issues raised.

Control of invasive ants in Western Australia

They may be small, but don’t be fooled, invasive ants are some of the world’s worst pests. These invasive ants can have a huge impact on our environment, economy, and way of life. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent in Australia on ant eradications and control because of their potential for devastating harm to wildlife, infrastructure, industry, and even human health. There are plenty of other ant species that are far too established to be removed. They are the gift that keeps on giving in terms of negative impact to WA now, and for future generations.

Three highly invasive ant species - the red imported fire ant, browsing ant, and African black sugar ant are all trying to gain a foothold into Western Australia. Luckily a crack team of highly trained ant surveillance officers from the WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development are on the case.

The invasive ant team are currently conducting surveillance, tracing and treatment activities at residential and commercial properties as well as parklands and disposal sites around Perth and regional areas of WA with the sole purpose of finding and eradicating these ants from our great State.

The department has been engaging and working alongside various pest control teams to treat all three species in suburbs from Bayswater in the north, east to Maida Vale, and East Rockingham in the south.

Bell Laboratories is pleased to introduce to the Australian market for the first time FASTRAC Blox Rodenticide, containing the acute active ingredient bromethalin. 

The first bromethalin block to be registered for use against rodents in Australia, FASTRAC Blox saves technicians time and money. Rodents can consume a lethal dose in a single night’s feeding, reducing the amount of bait required to achieve control.

Due to an effective knockdown when compared to anticoagulants, more rodents may be controlled with less bait. FASTRAC Blox are registered for use inside and outside, within 30 metres of buildings or permanent structures, allowing for more versatility in placement than anticoagulants. 

“I’m really excited to introduce Fastrac to Australia. As the World Leader in Rodent Control Technology, Bell Labs is committed to providing pest managers with the tools that they need to manage rodent populations and infestations. With Fastrac, we’re introducing an active ingredient that has never been used in Australia before, and which really compliments the other products in our range. I’m confident that Australian Pest Managers will love the rapid knockdown of bromethalin, and I’m proud that we are once again leading the way in the rodent control sector,” says Samuel Wood, Asia Pacific Business Manager. 

Bell’s unique extrusion process produces a hard, multiple-edged bait that combines with the palatability of a meal bait, with the weatherability of a paraffinized bait. FASTRAC Blox are available in convenient 4kg pails. 

To learn more about how FASTRAC can provide solutions for your fight against rodents, contact your local Bell representative or pest control distributor.

DELTATHOR® Label Extension – Now Registered for the Control of ALL Species of Flying & Crawling Insects

Nowadays, very few products have a broad label wording to allow professional pest managers to use them against all pest species. This can make it challenging when professionals encounter unusual or rarely encountered species in the urban environment. Even silverfish are not present on many product labels!

It is important to avoid using products contrary to their registered labels, which makes DELTATHOR a really great product to have on your vehicle, as part of your pest control armoury. Whether it be an unusual stored product insect, an out of the ordinary caterpillar, a never before encountered flying insect, or silverfish! DELTATHOR’s label allows you to provide an effective treatment. 

DELTATHOR contains 10 g/L deltamethrin in a water-based micro-suspension concentrate formulation for improved performance. It has been a well-trusted product in the Ensystex range since 2004 and is an economical solution for most pest problems.

You can see the full details for the new label by checking out the Usage Booklet. 

And to Celebrate this label extension, Ensystex are offering an April Special Price Deal, with savings of up to 22% off the standard list price available. Simply call your Ensystex Area Manager, or the Ensystex hotline on 13 35 36.

Syngenta have started hosting Pest Talk Webinars. These are designed to provide technical background into pests and treatments. The first one was held on March 10th and dealt with the hot topic of Red Imported Fire Ants. You can watch a recording of this webinar on their website.

The next webinar is on April 7th and will look at Mosquito Management, another topical area with all the talk in the media of mosquitoes as vectors for diseases like Dengue and Japanese Encephalitis.

With all the recent rain and flooding it's a common question " Will my termite management system still be there?". This recent flood technote from FMC is a timely one, with advice for both HomeGuard® and Biflex®.

Flood advice for buildings protected with a HomeGuard® Installation

Homes that have had HomeGuard® installed that are subject to flooding need not be concerned about the stability of bifenthrin within the HomeGuard® Termite Management System.
As HomeGuard® is fully impregnated with bifenthrin it will remain within the sheet material for extended period when under water.

Trials have been conducted by FMC to measure the amount of bifenthrin in the both the sheet material and the water after 6 months with a weekly stirring - no significant amount of bifenthrin could be measured in the water and no significant reduction in the amount of bifenthrin within the HomeGuard® was identified.

Flood advise for Biflex® Termite Treatments

Installers of Biflex® soil treatments for termites will know, as per the registered label, the Biflex® will stay in the soil profile for at least 10 years.

But what happens to the house that has been treated with Biflex® for termites or other chemistries for that matter when it has been flooded?

There are two considerations that may require action 

• When the soil is washed away by flood taking the Biflex® with it - the soil will need to be replaced and treated with Biflex®.
• When untreated soil from elsewhere is deposited on top of the Biflex® treated area creating a potential breach - a Biflex® treatment will be required to maintain a complete treated zone.

For this technote and many others please see our resource library: Resources – FMC 

The European wasp (Vespula Germanica), also known as the German wasp, used to be a prevalent pest in Sydney but hasn’t been sighted for many years, until recently.

Rowan Gregson, Technical Solutions Advisor with Sundew Solutions, said, “European wasps were common in Sydney in the 1990’s but their numbers fell, presumably due to climatic reasons, with none being reported in a 2019 survey of pest controllers.”

Recently, there have been European wasp sightings all over Sydney. “In just the last two weeks, pest controllers have reported treating European wasp nests in Campbelltown, Liverpool, Fairfield, Penrith, Dulwich Hill, Hurstville and Sans Souci,” Mr Gregson said.

Why should we care? 

Warwick Madden, Principal Research Scientist at Further Research and Consulting, said that European wasps are extremely aggressive and more dangerous than other wasps. “Unlike a bee, a wasp can sting multiple times,” Mr Madden said. “They release a pheromone that attracts its nest mates to join in an attack,” he added. “In 2019, a 7-year-old girl in Braidwood was stung up to 300 times and is lucky to be alive!”

In addition to the health risk, Mr Madden believes that the loss of amenity is a significant issue as European wasps are highly attracted to proteins and sugars. “An outdoor picnic of BBQ snags and soft drinks is an open invitation to European wasps,” said Mr Madden. “Pet food and fruit trees are also a favourite!”

Mr Gregson said that European wasps have been a continual problem in the southern states with some areas suffering from a drop in tourism due to large numbers of the pests. “The wasps are a declared pest in both WA and the ACT,” he added. “The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council has taken the step of contracting a feral pest manager to take care of the enormous number of wasps in Braidwood,” he said. “Now it appears it’s Sydney’s turn.”

Mr Gregson believes that NSW State and Local governments should be taking action to manage the increasing number and distribution of European wasps. “We need a strategy to ensure we can get on top of the situation before it really takes hold,” he said, “otherwise, the European wasp influx, and the dangers it presents, will only increase,” Mr Gregson said.

Mr Gregson said that the VESPEX website, www.vespex.com.au, contains comprehensive information about identifying and treating European Wasps as well as a directory of pest management specialists accredited in the their eradication.

To become a Sundew VESPEX Accredited Specialist to be able to remote bait European wasps when nests are unable to be located visit Vespex Accreditation Course (sundewsolutions.com.au) or contact Rowan Gregson at rowan@sundewsolutions.com.au or call 0422 403 556 for more information.

The Australian government has said it will buy 130,000 doses of a vaccine to protect against Japanese encephalitis as the outbreak spreads across four states.

Nearly $70m will be spent to combat the virus, which has been detected in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria and killed two people so far. There are 15 confirmed human cases of the mosquito-borne disease.

Product development and formulation chemistry is at the core of Sherwoods business having launched several innovative solutions to the Australian Pest management market over the last 10 years. ClearOut Crawling Insect Spray (containing Fipronil) has become a valuable tool for Pest Managers in treating problem pests internally due to its non-repellent active, clear solution and ease of use. So, we are often asked, why tinker with an already great product!

ClearOut PLUS IGR consists of 2 active ingredients – 0.5g/kg FIPRONIL and 0.15g/kg PYRIPROXYFEN a group 2B and 7C Insecticide. The label claims have also been extended to include flies (as well as cockroaches and ants) and is a non-scheduled poison allowing it to be used in multiple situations. 

IGR’s or Insect growth regulators are generally used in combination with an insecticide. IGR’s alone will not kill the insect, and this is where understanding and using an IGR increases the effectiveness of a product. IGR’s prevent immature cockroaches from reaching their full adult breeding cycle by disrupting nymphs molting process and reproductive development. The fipronil will kill the adult and nymphs initially but any that escape the effects long enough to breed will be affected by the IGR.
We suggest you always use ClearOut Sticky Glue Monitoring Traps when working in a commercial situation with ClearOut PLUS IGR. This easy-to-use monitoring tool will allow you to inspect how the cockroaches are reacting to the formulation. It is important to look for nymph German cockroaches that have been affected by pyriproxyfen and the appearance they display will indicate when they were infected and what the future holds.

German cockroaches infected by the pyriproxyfen during the 1st instar will likely not live through the molting stage. They appear as very dark, small and stubby. Those German cockroaches that survive the molting stage can be easily identified by their twisted deformed wings. At this stage they will not be able to mate. German cockroaches effected by pyriproxyfen during the 3rd instar will look fully grown but will also develop twisted deformed wings and be unable to mate making ClearOut PLUS IGR a highly effective product when treating insects like German Cockroaches. Breaking the breeding cycles is now easy and cost effective with ClearOut PLUS IGR.
