  • the fruit flies of the family Tephritidae include several species that are major pests of agriculture throughout the world and that represent a serious threat to U.S. agriculture.
  • the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS), in cooperation with other Federal and State Organizations, has conducted a number of programs to eradicate some species of fruit flies when these insects have been introduced. These programs generally have employed an integrated pest management approach to eradication.
  • Many recent programs have involved application of Malathion bait spray to effectively lower fly populations in the infested area followed by release of sterile flies. Aerial applications of the bait spray over populated areas to control infestations of fruit flies have been controversial. Concerns about adverse health effects from exposure to Malathion bait spray have been raised by residents of treated neighborhoods.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une composition et un procédé pour éradiquer ou supprimer une population de mouches méditerranéennes des fruits ou de mouches orientales des fruits, sensiblement sans danger pour l'homme, l'agriculture et les animaux vivants non ciblés. La composition insecticide contient au moins un colorant photoactif qui est de préférence un mélange de Phloxine B et d'uranine. On assure l'ingestion de la composition par la mouche visée en pulvérisant ou en appliquant l'insecticide à un emplacement où la mouche se nourrit. Lorsque le composant colorant photoactif de la composition est ingéré par les mouches méditerranéennes des fruits ou les mouches orientales des fruits, il provoque la pénétration dans le corps de la mouche d'une quantité de photons suffisante pour avoir un effet toxique.
