Abstract

Four pest control models which combine sterile releases with trapping are analyzed. The traps are baited with either female sex pheromone or food and may contain either insecticides or sterilants. The efficiency for control or eradication is greater when control methods are used in combination than when either control method is used in isolation. The most efficient combination for pest species with high fertility rates is the release of steriles together with the use of pheromone traps containing sterilant. For pest species with very low fertility rates and high survivorship, such as tsetse, sterile releases combined with food traps containing insecticides are most efficient.

Résumé

Sont analysés quatre modéles de lutte contre les espèces nuisibles, modéles qui combinent le relâchement d'individus stériles et l'emploi de pièges. Les appâts utilisés sont soit de la phéromone sexuelle femelle, soit de la nourriture, et les pièges contiennent soit un insecticide, soit un stérilisant. Dans les quatre combinaisons c'est l'acion conjointe de plusiers méthodes de contrôle, plus qu'une méthod isolée, qui accroît l'efficacité d'un programme de contrôle ou d'extermination. Pour les espèces nuisibles à taux de reproduction élevé, le relâchement d'individus stériles et l'utilisation de pièges à phéromone avec stérilisant forme la combinaison la plus efficace. Pour les espèces, telles que la tsé-tsé, à bas taux de reproduction et à taux élevé de survie, c'est le relâchement d'individus stériles combiné avec l'utilisation de pièges à nourriture avec insecticide qui est le plus efficace.
