Theyre called pests for a reason.
This week at the Irrigated Crop Production 2014 conference in Lethbridge, southern Alberta agricultural producers and local crop experts were asked to lend a hand to the provinces task of monitoring the insects which negatively impact crop production.
Scott Meers, an insect management specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, said 8,000 field visits are conducted each year and many of them are done on a random basis.
We want pre-selected, pre-approved fields, said Meers, who added there is some understandable concerns on the part of farmers when researchers arrive unannounced The information will only be used for insect surveys. We want to control the types of fields we go into so the surveys have more impact and theyre more powerful.
Farmers interested in having their land visited will be asked to provide some information and sign up. Meers added that is just one way his department is looking to track insect movement and development. Self-checking fields and calling the Alberta Pest Surveillance System at 310-2777 is another way, as Meers also encouraged local experts to aid the cause.
If each agrologist did one field a day, wed have a great picture of what is happening here in southern Alberta. It would really help fill in the picture.

Newswise Virginia Tech researchers who first discovered a devastating pest in India and devised a natural way to combat it have now put an economic value on their counterattack: up to $309 million the first year and more than $1 billion over five years.
Thats the amount of damage the papaya mealybug would have wreaked on farmers and consumers in India without scientists intervention.
The papaya mealybug ripped through crops including papaya, eggplant, and tomato in southern India causing mold and stunted growth before Rangaswamy Muni Muniappan of Virginia Tech identified the pest and spearheaded the natural control program.
For a relatively modest cost of $200,000 during the first year of the intervention, devastation that would have totaled from $524 million to $1.34 billion over five years was prevented, Muniappan and other scientists report in the February issue of the journal Crop Protection.
Indias first efforts to eradicate the papaya mealybug failed, says Muniappan, who heads up Virginia Techs federally funded Integrated Pest Management Innovation Lab program, a venture that works in developing countries to minimize crop losses, increase farmer income, and decrease pesticide use. The government and farmers tried spraying pesticides, but crop losses kept getting larger. It was clear to us that this was a case not for poisons but for natural, biological controls.
The winning intervention centered on three parasitic wasps from Mexico, natural enemies of the mealybug that the U.S. government first employed in Florida after the pest spread there in the late 1990s. The wasp lays its eggs inside the mealybug larvae, and when the eggs hatch, the young wasps eat the larvae.
Virginia Techs work to stop the papaya mealybug is an important contribution to protecting U.S. crops, says Marjorie A. Hoy, a University of Florida entomologist not associated with the Virginia Tech study who was instrumental in controlling a Florida infestation.
Its impossible for regulatory agencies at the borders to inspect and remove any infested material they try, but its impossible to do it all," Hoy says. "Im happy to hear that [Virginia Tech scientists] conducted an economic analysis. That is so often missing in biological-control projects.

(Germantown) Pest control experts say the cold span we had a few weeks ago sent a number of rodents into homes, and as the temperature drops once again, that big problem is only getting bigger.
Don Crutchfield is our resident rodent expert. We set him loose in WREGs Wayne Carters attic after he heard the pitter-patter of feet above my head.
Pest control companies all around the area are dealing with an ton of calls right now, mostly finding roof rats.
They can have six to thirteen pups per litter. In a matter of a few months you can have a real population explosion, said Crutchfield.
Peanut butter is great, beef jerky works real well, rotten tomatoes work great, he added. Its like a buffet, you may not want salad today you may want steak.
You may have heard its good advice to close up holes and trim trees away from your home, but our expert says save your money, it just doesnt matter.
They can climb the brick. You can see a squirrel upside down on this siding and they can gnaw a hole in siding, it doesnt matter, said Crutchfield.
Once the rats get into your attic, they usually will stay there and not come into your home if its noisy.
Crutchfield said they he dont like all the busy activity in your home, and theyre as scared of you as you are of them.
