Pest Control Industry and Vector Control Activities in Taiwan
台灣的病媒管制與環保
摘要
台灣地區的病媒防治工作，分由政府機關推動及民營病媒防治業者配合執行。截至八十二年底，計有合法病媒防治業者117家，訓練合格之病媒防治管理員438人，按術員274人，從事蚊、蠅、蟑螂、跳蚤、老鼠、白蟻等病媒害蟲之專業防治。藥劑以環保署許可之除蟲菊精類及有機磷類等環境衛生用殺蟲劑爲主。至於昆蟲生長調節劑或微生物製劑，則業者迄未使用。病媒防治業者過去在台灣登革熱流行期間曾協助政府噴灑殺蟲劑，以防治病媒埃及斑蚊。 行政院環保署職司全國病媒防治業務，除督導地方環保單位防治病媒，負責訓練及管理病媒防治業者外；並負責審核環境衛生用藥劑及微生物製劑之製造、輸入、販賣許可。此外，環保署新近訂定公告「環境衍生用藥藥效試驗方法規範」，並積極推動社區病媒防治工作。

At the end of 1993, there were 117 private pest control companies in Taiwan, with 438 technical managers and 274 technicians. Their business includes the control of mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas, rodents, termites, houseflies, etc. Pyrethroids and some organopliosphates are employed. At present, no applications of insect growth regulators or microbial agents are used by private pest control operators. During dengue epidemics they assist the government in space spraying with insecticides. The Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan, R.O.C., is responsible for the training and management of pest control operators. In addition, the Administration is also in charge of affairs concerning the manufacture, import, registration and sale of environmental pesticides and microbial agents. It establishes protocols for testing the efficacy of insecticides and promotes pest control on the community level.
