We have had a rat problem all through at Waterbeach 2013 Sonja King - Waterbeach

Families have revealed how rats have made their lives a misery as Cambridge council chiefs prepare to axe their pest control team.

The infestation victims are unable to get help because other local authorities have already sacked their rat catchers and fear for Cambridge residents if the city council follows suit this week.

Sonja King, of Providence Way, Waterbeach, had rats in her house throughout 2013 and could not afford the 400 quote from a private contractor after learning South Cambridgeshire District Council had closed its service.

She said the largest one was 18in long from head to tail.

The 52-year-old said: During the summer we spent hours of our time, stressed, frustrated and being kept awake night after night which had an effect on my health catching and killing rats. We have caught 15 to date and they are back.

January 10, 2014 - EPA announced agricultural grants for Integrated Pest Management practices to reduce use of potentially harmful pesticides. Grants will go to Louisiana State University to minimize impacts to bees from insecticides used in mosquito control; University of Vermont to reduce pesticide use and improve pest control while increasing crop yields on 75 acres of hops in Northeast; and Pennsylvania State University to protect bees and crops by reducing reliance on neonicotinoid pesticide seed treatments. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ariel Rios Building Washington, DC, 20460 USA Press release date: January 8, 2014

Louisiana State, Penn State and University of Vermont at the forefront of groundbreaking technology

WASHINGTON --Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced agricultural grants for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices to reduce the use of potentially harmful pesticides and lower risk to bees all while controlling pests and saving money.

These collaborative projects can provide innovative solutions to reduce pesticide risks to pollinators and crops, said James Jones, assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. Initiatives such as these will encourage others to adopt promising technologies and practices across the nation to reduce pesticide risks while maximizing crop production and protecting public health.

IPM relies on easy-to-implement, environmentally-sensitive practices that prevent pests from becoming a threat. These practices involve monitoring and identifying pests and taking preventive action before pesticides are used. If pesticides are needed, methods such as targeted spraying may be used. These grants will expand public-private stewardship efforts and reduce pesticide risk in agriculture.

The Agricultural IPM Grants are awarded to:

The Louisiana State University project to minimize impacts to bees from insecticides used in mosquito control. Mosquito control is critical for public health; however, insecticides can be hazardous to bees. Bees are essential for crop production and ensuring a healthy food supply. Practices and guidelines resulting from the project will be distributed to mosquito control districts and beekeepers throughout the U.S.

The University of Vermont project to reduce pesticide use and improve pest control while increasing crop yields on 75 acres of hops in the Northeast. The awardees will also develop and distribute outreach materials to help farmers adopt these practices. The projects goal is to reduce herbicide and fungicide applications by 50 percent while decreasing downy mildew, a plant disease.

The Pennsylvania State University project to protect bees and crops by reducing reliance on neonicotinoid pesticide seed treatments and exploring the benefits of growing crops without them. IPM in no-till grain fields will be used to control slugs and other pests that damage corn and soybeans. Researchers will share their findings with mid-Atlantic growers and agricultural professionals.

Protection of bee populations is among EPAs top priorities. Some of the factors that contribute to the decline in pollinators include: loss of habitat, parasites and disease, genetics, poor nutrition and pesticide exposure. EPA is engaged in national and international efforts to address these concerns. The agency is working with beekeepers, growers, pesticide manufacturers, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and states to apply technologies to reduce pesticide exposure to bees. These efforts will advance best management practices, enhance enforcement and ensure that real-world pollinator risks are accounted for in our pesticide regulatory decisions.
