Invasive Pest Management can be used to optimize pest detection operations.
Invasive pests are a constant and forbidding threat to the world's agricultural trade systems and native landscapes. To combat these threats, state and local governments establish inspection programs to assist with early pest detection and protect crop yields. Pest inspection programs also ensure that public agencies comply with regulations and protect public and private lands. Placing and routinely inspecting insect traps in open spaces, on agricultural land, and on residential property helps mitigate these threats. However, while routine inspections can reduce the risk of infestation, the sheer volume of trapping sites makes it difficult to inspect every site. Understanding where traps are located and inspections have occurred help organizations monitor service agreements and measure program performance. Furthermore, understanding historical trapping sites helps organizations optimize future pest detection operations and inspection plans.
The Invasive Pest Management solution delivers a set of capabilities that help state and local governments develop pest trapping plans, perform field inspections, monitor program metrics, and share program information with internal and external stakeholders.
