To spray or not to spray the plane?

Comments Off

Several years ago, I also was on a flight which was sprayed and honestly I was amazed. I work in the industry that obviously sprays but I don’t and haven’t recommended spraying inside unless the bug is something that was carried in like cockroaches or stored product pests. I think it was Figi and we had just landed when the flight attendant came through the cabin spraying as she walked. I did of course check the can and it was a Permethrin aerosol. The reason they do this is to keep out foreign or invasive pests. I guess one mosquito could cause a lot of trouble and why not nip it in the bud right there on the plane.

“In flight spray bugs traveller.” – This week we have seen the stories about lawsuits and this isn’t one, she just wants people to realize that this happens. I have to agree, if the people were notified in advance they could at the very least put a handkerchief over their nose and mouth.

This is her quote: Cohen said she doesn’t want a refund. “I just want people to know before they travel that it may not be so much fun in the sun, especially if you’re sensitive.”

So take care if traveling, ask questions about spraying or ask about pests in general and maybe your trip will go off without a hitch. By the way I also applaud those countries not wanting to import pests like these into their countries.

I think I took this picture at the Logan Steakhouse (cool artwork), get out and travel.

I have to say I’m pretty impressed with this new product from FMC, you also know how much I hate flies. They land on your food and then throw up and lap it back up, that is just gross. This device is a sticker that is discreet, affordable and incredibly easy to use. Here is the information from their sell sheet.

Proven knockdown in one minute
Effective for up to 7 months indoors and 4 months outdoors

1000 square feet – use additional for heavy infestation

This is a great design which I’m sure will work well in all types of establishments and I personally can’t wait to work into my programs.

Insects are incredibly adaptable creatures and have evolved to live successfully in most environments on earth, including deserts and even the Antarctic. The only place where insects are not commonly found is in the oceans.

The blood of insects is yellow.

A botfly is known to fly at a speed of 1300 km/hr, which makes it faster then an aircraft.

A large swarm of locusts can eat 80,000 tons of corn in a day.

The oldest known insect on Earth is the cockroach. Cockroaches date back 350 million years ago.

Have you ever noticed something annd couldn’t quite figure out what it is? This might be one of those cases, just below the screen at a fast food restaurant you notice the plastic box.

Did you know that I test products before recommending them?

One of my favorite accounts has been having some fly issues, so we are running a test. The fly bags work but they stink and I mean really stink. This device is called the Solar Fly Trap – it does use an attractant but allows the flies to be held in a dry area. So the biggest issue the stink is far better from the start of the test.

Used by horse owners, breeding and training facilities, dairies, poultry and swine facilities, feedlots, gardeners, pet owners, kennels, and other places where flies are a problem.

This made-to-last, rust-free, heavy duty trap goes anywhere. Use it to reduce existing fly populations, fly blooms and migrant flies.

The yeast bait is mixed with water and poured into the container at the bottom of the trap. Within seconds flies are lured into the trap. They enter into the confinement chamber and dehydrate from exposure to the sun. When the solar fly trap begins to fill up with flies, just empty, hose out and reset with new bait.

Give us a month and we will post the results.
