Plum sawfly

Trichlorfon is mostly used to kill mangold fly larvae it is also very efficient against the dangerous rice weevil, which can destroy whole harvests. Trichlorfon is successfully used in viticulture (to kill grapevine moths) and pomiculture (to kill apple, pear and plum sawflies, apple ermine moths and gooseberry sawflies). Trichlorfon is very efficient in cot-ton-growing (to kill cotton worms). The low toxicity of trichlorfon for warm-blooded animals accounts for its use in veterinary medicine to combat parasites on large animals.

Mammals are often overlooked for their pest-control abilities. For example, in Canadian forests, shrews control larch sawflies and other pests. Lizards and toads are important natural enemies of pest insects, and snakes can help control problems with mice and voles. In many communities in Europe and North America, farmers encourage birds to control pests by placing nesting boxes around their fields. Even domesticated animals can assist in pest control. If you have a small orchard and keep chickens, let the chickens feed in the orchard. They will peck pests such as plum curculios out of dropped fruit and other ground litter.
