“…Abnormally high pheromone trap catches in a cigarette factory ended when several hidden tobacco dust accumulations were removed [46]. When Trematerra and Gentile [47] focused sanitation primarily on the milling areas of each floor with the highest local infestation, and the level of insect pests was kept low compared to the level observed in the same months of the previous years. Inspections and the redistribution of cleaning from areas in a cigarette factory with redundant or excessive cleaning to areas missed eliminated unacceptable infestations [46].…”

Importance of Sanitation for Stored-Product Pest Management

Sanitation is essential for the cost-effective pest management of stored-product insects. The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 led to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tightening regulatory standards, and many local surveys, courses and conferences were organized to prepare the industry for these new regulations. Sanitation removes insects and residual food, which may also provide shelter for insects, with heat treatments and insecticide applications. The number of insects removed by cleaning may be reduced as the number of available hiding places increases. Decreased sanitation negatively affects the efficacy of most other pest management practices, with means of 1.3- to 17-fold decreases in efficacy. The majority of studies quantifying the efficacy of sanitation have been performed on the farm storage of grain, but some studies have been conducted for grain elevators, food processing, and the marketing system. Results ranged from no effect of sanitation alone to very effective alone or with other methods. Sanitation can also reduce insect infestation prior to harvest. Some cost–benefit analyses have been conducted for sanitation.
