REDDING, Calif. -
An agriculture program at Shasta College is seeing a need and addressing it.
It is called the Pest Control Adviser Preparation Program and it is giving students a direct line into the field.
Agriculture is a billion dollar industry in California, said the programs lead instructor Leimone Waite.
If farmers do not own the land, and many of them do not, they have a Pest Control Adviser write them what Waite called a prescription to treat any pest problems on the crop. Only licensed Pest Control Advisers can perform this task. They also will offer recommendations regarding things like pest management materials, land preparation, fertilization, cultivating and harvesting.
Shasta College launched the program in the spring to get students licensed for the job.
Waite said the field used to require a bachelors or doctorate degree in a specific plant science area. Those requirements changed when the state was seeing fewer people entering the field of work.
"California continually puts more regulations on farming and just pesticide use in general. So it keeps increasing the need for PCAs, Waite said. So it's sort of not only where you having an increased need, we're also having a decrease in actual people that employed in the field."
Even the students involved in the program are seeing these results.
It is in need, because a lot of elder gentlemen are currently in the field for PCAs, said student Lindee Jones. It's an in demand job."
Catlins mhua increase after pest control
An important mhua or yellowhead population in the Catlins is on the increase after a successful joint agency pest control programme last spring.
In August TBfree New Zealand and DOC worked together to treat 47,000 ha of forest in the Catlins with aerial 1080 to knock down possums, rats and stoats.
DOCs focus was to control rats and stoats to protect mhua in 10,000 ha of beech forest, while TBfree New Zealand targeted possums to control bovine tuberculosis (TB) over 37,000 ha surrounding this area.
DOC Conservation Services Manager David Agnew says monitoring results show that mhua have increased to the highest level recorded since the population suffered a big decline about 14 years ago.
Surveys in October and November last year show the population is recovering well after the pest control in August. We found more birds and they have expanded into areas they used to be found in.
The opportunity to piggy-back on the TBfree operation when rat levels were on the increase meant that mhua could be protected right at the start of their nesting season in October when they were most vulnerable, says David Agnew.
Treating a much larger area at one go had the benefit of slowing the reinvasion of predators as well as significant cost savings from shared planning.
The co-ordinated operation considerably decreased possum numbers, the main source of TB in livestock, and helped maintain the progress already made in reducing the risk of TB-infected wild animals spreading the disease to farmed cattle and deer in the surrounding area.
Rat levels, which were tracking at between 14% and 18% in mid to low-altitude forest areas in August, fell to undetectable levels in November after 1080 treatment. Possum numbers fell to between 0.33% and 0.17% (residual trap catch) from a pre-operation level of 3%.

The Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality wants the community to be mindful of health and safety regulations when procuring the services of professional exterminators or pest control applicators.? A pesticide is any substance used to control pests. Pests may be target insects, vegetation, fungi, etc. Most control the pests by poisoning them. Unfortunately, pesticides can be poisonous to humans; some are very poisonous, or toxic, and may seriously injure or even kill humans. Others are relatively non-toxic.
Pesticides can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or mouth. The most important thing to remember is that you should always use caution whenever you work with any pesticide!
Homeowner advisory
For those building a home or commercial building, DEQ reminds you that prior to conducting pesticide treatment on concrete structure or building foundation projects, there is some information you should be aware of, including obtaining a permit to apply pesticides for pre or post construction projects.
Only a professional pest control applicator can perform the structural treatment. The applicator must be trained and licensed. Your familys health and safety may be compromised if the company or applicator is not permitted, licensed or certified, said Reina Camacho, manager for the Pesticide and Storage Tank Branch at DEQ. ??In selecting a professional termite or pest control company, residents can call DEQ to verify the permit status of these applicators. Camacho said residents can also inquire if operators or applicators of a particular company are licensed and certified. ??This is important, because the application of pesticides and other chemicals must be performed or supervised by a certified pesticide applicator. A companys track record and appropriate insurance are other factors to consider when selecting a professional, she said.??Pesticide applicators operating on Saipan are Advance X Terminators, No Ka Oi Termite & Pest Control, Pacific Daiken Corp., and Western Pest Control.??DEQ also recommends that homeowners:
-hold a pre-application meeting with the hired company to review what pests to be controlled;
-review the extent of the problem;
-check the active ingredients in the pesticide chosen;
-review potential adverse health effects and typical symptoms of poisoning associated with the active ingredient;

Cineworld in Didsbury has had to call in a private extermination firm several times after the outbreak was first spotted.
Pest control experts had to be called in after a cinema became infested with cockroaches.
Cineworld in Didsbury has had to call in a private extermination firm several times after the outbreak was first spotted.
Bosses at the 11-screen cinema at Parrs Wood Entertainment Centre on Wilmslow Road admitted to a pest control issue but said it was working closely with council environmental health officers.
They said they are confident the outbreak is fully under control and would be resolved shortly.
Bosses said health and safety was of utmost importance.
Manchester city council said it was informed by the cinema of a low-level infestation last October.
The M.E.N. understands that pest controllers have been used on several occasions.
Council chiefs said the issue was confined to the cinema only and no other businesses at the site have been affected.

Pest control called in after cockroach infestation at cinema
Some male moths immediately fly to the dispensers which renders them unattractive to female moths as they are left smelling of the pheromone.
With mating activity reduced or halted completely, moth populations quickly decline.
The manufacturers claim the Moth Disruption System is a natural and non-toxic solution which does not use any pesticides.
David Cross, head of technical training for Rentokil, said: Most people associate moths with eating natural fibres and chewing holes in their cashmere and woollen clothing or nibbling on their carpets and curtains, but there are some species of moth that can cause even bigger problems when they infest food supplies such as rice, flour, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate and pulses.
The Moth Disruption System provides a new tool in combating stored product moths, and does so in a manner which is natural, humane and non-toxic, so there is no risk of contamination to food products.
The product is part of a wider trend in the pest control industry towards using natural methods and materials to stamp out infestations.
AviGo, a bird control product launched by Rentokil in 2012, uses natural chilli extract to keep pigeons and gulls away from treated areas, while the company has also been increasing its use of hawking for pest bird control.

New moth control product kills their sex drive
This winter is a real killer.
The deep freeze, with arctic blasts from the polar vortex, has put invasive insects on ice in dozens of states. That includes the emerald ash borer, a pretty bug that does ugly things to ecosystems it invades.
Up to 80 percent of the ash borers died when January temperatures dipped below minus 20 degrees in St. Paul, Minn., according to an estimate by U.S. Forest Service biologists, who have been conducting studies on the impact of cold weather on the bugs for the past three years.
Their estimates were affirmed when state researchers found that nearly 70 percent of ash borers collected from infected trees in the Twin Cities area last month were frozen stiff a good thing for ash trees that adorn communities and provide smooth, durable wood used for flooring, bowling alleys, church pews, baseball bats and electric guitars.
Across the country, other destructive pests are dropping dead, including the hemlock woolly adelgid, which preys on Christmas trees in the Appalachian Mountains; the kernel-munching corn earworm, found in nearly every state; the citrus-destroying cottony cushion scale that migrated to Maryland from Florida; and the gypsy moth, which chomps on 80 species of trees and is spreading from the Northeast to the Midwest.
The bugs found their way to the United States from all over the world and thrived in the relatively warm winters of recent years. At least two of the pests mounted great migrations from the Deep South to Virginia and Maryland.
For now, at least, the freeze has stopped them in their tracks. Researchers in the Appalachians of West Virginia and Maryland found hemlock adelgids whose little, strawlike mouths were stuck to the pine needles from which they suck nectar.
Based on surveillance, researchers believe more than 95 percent of hemlock adelgids were killed in the northern Appalachians and at that least 70 percent died in their southernmost range, Georgia.
At first blush, this appears to be great news, Tobin said. Important trees, including ash, birch and oak, and such vital crops as soybeans, corn and oranges, will probably get a break from millions of gnawing mouths.
But invasive bugs are a breed apart. Built to last, they almost never experience extinction.
