What can I do if QFF arrives?? DR ABC

 Alert DEDJTR, Regional Coordinator, Agronomists, Farm Manager, Neighbours  Identify source – remove or reduce the source  Identify the spread - contain the spread  Remove the infestation - attract and kill with bait sprays and specific traps  Increase monitoring intensity  Improve hygiene/sanitation  Continue to monitor with traps and checking fruit  Clean up or cull risks (more drastically than prevention stage)  Consider long term options for reducing population numbers

SLIDE 17

Thinking ahead

 We have area freedom  Cost of doing nothing is

higher than the investment required to prevent the pest establishing
