| The TCP provided the capacity to apply disinfestation techniques, specifically, vapour heat treatment, for fruit flies on dragon fruits. |
| Up to now, low oxygen or anaerobic environments have been mainly used for disinfestation and for long-term storage of individual objects in airtight bags. |
| Quarantine and disinfestation methods are used to control importation of such insects from grain-exporting countries. |
| Heat is commonly used as a physical disinfestation treatment for fruit flies. |
| In the past, the use of heat disinfestation has been seriously constrained by its high cost compared with chemical options. |
| Information on disinfestation and sterilization, where available, is shown together for each pest species and is accessed through a single search function. |
