Concluding Remarks

Previous reports and our own experience all indicate a situation typified by serious damage of a localised rather than a generalised nature. There is a definite need for research to determine:

1.The economic importance of this damage (on a local and regional basis).
2.The short and long term cost/benefits of current control practices.
3.The areas of improvement to control technology, either by attempting to increase efficiency or by development of new methods.

Research cannot be expected to solve problems associated with the organisation and financing of pest control.
