Priorities in Formulation and Activity of Adulticidal Insecticide Bait Sprays for Fruit Flies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The use of adulticidal insecticide spray against fruit flies is examined as a historical development, beginning at the turn of the twentieth century and proceeding to the present. This development is considered in three phases, the first extending from the 1890s when the threats of exotic pest invasions were realized in the USA, especially California, and in Australia and focused on chemicals that were generally toxic to all animals but mainly after ingestion. After World War II, the development and recognition of synthetic organic pesticides allowed for more targeted and more toxic pesticides. A third period was initiated during the 1990s, mainly in response to social and political issues related to human exposure and impacts on environment. During all three phases there was social, economic, and political participation in establishing goals for direction of both pest management and research. Attractant baits were used during all three phases. Toxic attractant baits were developed mainly addressing control and eradication programs for Ceratitis, Bactocera, and Anastrepha. Although insecticides were used to control damage by established pests, programs to eradicated invasive population were associated with urgent programs.
