Functions of a Navy Entomologist
- (R)ecommendations
- (O)n-site consultation
- (T)echnical assistance
Reviews and evaluates for shipboard use:
- Pest control procedures
- Pesticides
- Pesticide equipment
- New technologies
What is the purpose of vector control?
preserves the health and morale of Navy and Marine Corps personnel
Vector control improves morale by:
- Preventing disease transmission
- Ensuring sanitary conditions
- Eliminating the hosts/reservoir of disease
- Ensuring a safe food supply

- Molluscicide - snails
- Rodenticides - rodents
What are the 3 types of insecticides?

- larvicide (larva)
- adulticide (adult)
Chlorinated hydrocarbons are not used by the DoD because
they cause cancer
Stomach poisons kill by
ingestion
Contact poison
breaks down insects body
Fumigants
gaseous or vapor form via the respiratory system
The various formulations into which pesticides may be prepared are:
- Oil solution
- Emulsions
- Suspensions
- Dusts
- Granules
Who requires all pesticides be labeled?
FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1972)
DANGER: means
highly toxic
WARNING: means
moderately toxic
CAUTION: means
slightly toxic
No warning:
free of toxicity
All pesticides must have what 2 statements?

every 8 hours
For heavy usage respirator filters should be changed how often?
every 4 hours
What eye protection should be worn to prevent contamination to the eyes?
- vented goggles
- unvented googles
- face shield
Head protection should not be
fabric lined

Organophosphates
Causes irreversible cholinesterase inhibition
Organophosphate Treatment for pesticide exposure
- 2 to 4 mg of atropine sulfate intravenous (IV)
- Repeat doses at 5 to 10 min
- Maintain treatment 24 hours or longer.
- 2 PAM Chloride, 1 gm IV slowly, may be used for supportive therapy.
Carbamate poisoning treatment for pesticide exposure
reversible cholinesterase inhibition
Carbamate Treatment for pesticide exposure
- give 2-4 mg atropine sulfate IV
- Repeat doses at 5 to 10 min
- Maintain treatment 24 hours or longer
- 2-pam chloride is CONTRAINDICATED
Organochlorine poisoning symptoms appear within
20 minutes - 4 hours
Organochlorine treatment
Lavage stomach with 2-4 liters of tap water
30 gm sodium sulphate in one cup of water
AVOID epinephrine or stimulants
Calcium gluconate (10% in 10 mL ampules) IV q 4 hours
Minimum Requirements for the Contents of a Pesticide Spill Kit
- Apply Absorbent material
- Shovel.
- Barrel for disposal
- Detergent and water or chlorine bleach (do not use latter with organochlorines!).
- Appropriate protective clothing includes rubber gloves, apron, boots, and goggles
Shipboard Pest Control Reporting Requirements
