NOTES:

1 - Regularly scheduled, periodic pesticide applications are not approved for DoD property.

2 - Liquid, dust, or aerosol pesticide formulations shall not be applied indoors when food is exposed or spaces are occupied.

3 - Treatment of areas outside or adjacent areas to the designated area does not constitute an added service call or charge.

4 – Report conditions conducive to pest infestation to the KO and Integrated Pest Management Coordinator within one working day following survey.

5 - Pesticide applications shall not be made during hours of operations or when children are present at schools, child development centers, and youth activity centers.

6 - Coordinate with residents/building personnel on specific treatment and re-entry times.

7 - The ULV machine shall be calibrated for generating proper droplet sizes and range before starting any work under this contract and thereafter every 90 days or every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Maintain a log of ULV machine hour use.

8 - Aerial applications of pesticides require validation and approval by a pest management consultant.

9 - The adulticide is applied at maximum label rate for the adulticide used.

10 - The KO shall designate areas where mosquito larva should be controlled on a map supplied by the government.

The areas may be intermittent water (developed from surveys for larval breeding sites), or permanent water sites.

Pest Group 011: Adult Mosquito Surveillance

Equipment Provider: The Contractor shall provide the mosquito light trap(s) and all other equipment (as needed) to complete mosquito survey(s) as directed by the CO. All cost for procurement of equipment (including traps, batteries, extension cords, light bulbs, collection bags, etc.) shall be included in the bid price for this service and does not constitute grounds for any added charge under any other part of this contract.

Trap Design: Type of trap will be determined by the target mosquito species. The installation Preventive Medicine

Department can provide information on local nuisance and vector mosquitoes. New Jersey light traps (or equal), CDC

Miniature light traps (or equal) (battery operated), gravid traps, or other commercially purchased light trap designs deemed acceptable to the Armed Forces Pest Control Board (AFPMB), shall be used. The Government may or may not provide electricity at the site where the CO designates that the light traps shall be placed. If no electricity is available, battery operated units shall be used. Battery operated units may be used even if electricity is provided. The government shall not supply batteries. Use the same trap design at the same location throughout the course of this contract.

Trap Placement: Traps shall be placed so as to effectively collect and measure the target mosquito population. The

Government may determine trap locations.

Trapping Frequency: Traps shall be set once each week (weather permitting). If weather is inappropriate for trapping

(heavy rain or consistent winds above 15 MPH), perform trapping on the night following the scheduled night (or the next appropriate night). Conduct adult mosquito trapping in accordance with the weekly schedule.

Survey Data: At a minimum, the Contractor shall count the total number of mosquitoes in the trap and record the number on the Adult Mosquito Catch Form.

Disposition of Mosquitoes: Consult with the installation Preventive Medicine Department to determine if mosquito collections should be saved for identification and testing. If the mosquitoes are to be retained, then the following method should be used. Immobilize and kill mosquitoes and other arthropods by placing in the trap container in a freezer or using another suitable method that does not destroy the specimens (e.g. do not immerse in alcohol).

(Mosquitoes collected for testing (e.g. West Nile Virus) may require specific handling; consult with the Preventive

Medicine Department.) Place trap contents in a paper or cardboard container and label with time, date, location collector’s name and contact information. Deliver to personnel designated by the CO to receive the mosquito trap collection. If mosquitoes do not need to be kept, then they should be disposed.

Reporting Adult Mosquito Collections: The Contractor shall complete the number of samples designated by the

Government and record (in legible handwriting) the results of the survey for each location sampled. The Contractor shall note the date and time of collection, the number of mosquitoes collected per sample site, type of breeding source, notes regarding the sampled mosquitoes, and sum or average the totals. The CO may provide a collection form (Adult

Mosquito Catch Form) on which the survey results are recorded. Records shall be reported on the collection form and submitted weekly during surveillance to the CO and the installation Preventive Medicine Department.

The critical level for initiation of adult mosquito control shall be determined by the Preventive Medicine Department.

The base Preventive Medicine Technicians shall be consulted before any control takes place.

Pest Group 016: Larval Mosquito Surveillance

Equipment: The Contractor shall provide all equipment (as needed), to complete the assigned task(s) including, but not limited to, ladders, asepto syringes, boots, dippers, notebooks, etc. (as applicable). The Contractor shall sample for immature mosquitoes on the schedule designated by the KO.

Survey Designated Mosquito Breeding Sites (Areas designated by the ACO or Contract Specifications): Areas shall be designated by the CO for IQ work, and by maps for FFP work. In the designated area(s), there may be differing aquatic environments to sample from including but not limited to, wetlands, standing pools of water, tree holes, artificial containers, clogged rain gutters, land depressions with temporary pools, floodwater plains, standing ponds, underground or aboveground storm water catch basins, swamps, drainage ditches, tire dumps, recycling areas, or any area where mosquitoes can breed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to survey all potential mosquito breeding sites within the designated area(s).

Previous Experience: Larval mosquito surveys are very technique sensitive. Only Contractor personnel, with significant previous experience sampling for immature mosquitoes, shall perform larval surveys.

Survey Techniques:

In larger bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, catch water basins, etc., perform surveys around the water perimeter using a standard larval mosquito dipper (style and type approved by the Installation Preventive Medicine Department and the KO). Complete a sufficient number of dips to develop an accurate average dip count for the body of water (e.g.

10 dips/sampling station). Different species of mosquito larvae must be surveyed using different dipping techniques. It may be necessary to proceed carefully, or to act swiftly depending on the species being sampled, as water disturbance or casting shadows could result in the larvae diving to the bottom. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to know the proper sampling technique(s) for the mosquito species present.

In smaller water bodies such as rain gutters, artificial containers, tree holes etc., samples shall be taken using an appropriate collection device.

Reporting Larval Mosquito Collections: The Contractor shall record (in legible handwriting) the results of the survey for each location sampled. The Contractor shall complete the number of samples designated by the KO for each location. The Contractor shall note the date and time of collection, the number of immature mosquitoes collected per sample site, type of breeding source, notes regarding the sampled mosquitoes, and sum or average the totals. The KO may provide a collection form on which the survey results are recorded. Records shall be reported on the collection form and submitted every two weeks during surveillance to the KO and the installation Preventive Medicine

Department.
