THE
PROFESSIONAL DUTIES
The human resources and the relative duties and motivations are the centre of
this matter.
To our notice the consciousness of the hygienic importance of the pest controls
services should represent the starting professional stimulus . In this context
make a mention of Integrated Pest Management is due like the realization of
system of integrated straggle where also the management vision of ampler breath
interact.
Like in the Quality, also this new professional approaches, the main point is
to believe in it, not as action of faith, but as a rational and due tribute
to the new productive necessities.
TO
INFORM/ TO FORM AND TO TRAINE
In this context we have used the terminology that the legislator employs in
security field because the pest control operators professionalism
has to involve in a inseparable way both the technical competence and the relative
safety norms in general sense: the proper one, the other people's, without forgetting
the environment. Coming back to the professional aspect of the pest control
operator we could underline the necessity to know the products technical
characteristics that he use , the equipment and the individual protection devices.
Moreover he should be well informed on the applications techniques: where,
how and when operate and additionally a general competence of parasitic and
the main products toxicity and the relative active principles used. The
professional aspect involves, with a bit of familiarity, in the context of the
implant design, above all electric, and with a discreet degree of ability in
to perform small maintenances.
Overall he should be 8in the condition to know what he mustnt make and
for this reason he should have detailed operative protocols. Also the capacity
to have good relationship is a important professional baggage. Certainly the
pest control operators job, or the PCO (Pest Control Operator), trespasses
in the allembracing knowledge and this represents the burden and the honour
of this profession.
THE PARASTICSS BIO-ETHOLOGICAL ASPECTS
If, as the book of war strategy suggest, to better fight your own enemy you
need to well know it, also in the pest controls field, that you often
define it like struggle you have to act this concept.
Besides the knowledge of the infesting entity is basic to chose both the technique
and the suitable means for the aim.
First of all is necessary to define what kind of specie is about on the base
of the numerous indications supply by the environment where there is the infestation:
damages, dens, refuges could serve, but its better to take a sampling
to make the direct identification thanks to specific morphological characteristics:
the microscopic examination is very often needed.
After this phase you must be known how much more possible information starting
from the biological cycle, also in function of the environmental conditions(temperature,
humidity and even the food can vary notably the times of development).
These variables are fundamental to define the lifes optimum conditions
and the limiting ones. For instance, to hinder some kinds of infestation, you
could act varying the temperature and/or the humidity. To study the biological
cycle in this terms allows to know when act, what level strike and supply the
instruments to establish the time-breakings between the treatments, when these,
like for example in the case of cockroaches and fleas, are not active against
the cocoons and the nymphs quiescent.
Finally, but of great importance, you cannot disregarded the ethological aspects
of parasites: lights actrattivity or photophobia are the aspects more
exploited in the market, for example we remember the luminous traps for flying
insects or the spray hunting out formulator for the cockroaches.
But others aspects of the behaviour can be useful to the aim of a rational struggle:
for instance to know when they are more active, if they are good flyer, what
food preferences have or what kind of den they usually search.
To know is the starting point for well to operate.
CONCLUSIONS
What we point out indicates the various constituent ingredients her "recipe
pest control."
To have the ingredients is a ahead footstep to realize a good service, but as
in the culinary art to get some manicarettis the work it is necessary of a prepared
cook, also in our job it needs to professionally be prepared.
Also risking to fall in the obvious one we remember that our job of environmental
operators asks for prudence, competence and good sense.
We conclude remembering to everybody that the fact to intervene in a sector
is wanted improving the hygienic level of it, therefore also making a pest control,
it doesn't represent an expense but a farsighted andrational investment.
