Print on Demand. This book details Canada's past and current efforts to stem the tide of insect invaders that plague its farmlands, forests, and cities. The author, an expert entomologist, describes how this vast country has fought to control both native and imported pests, from the Hessian Fly to the Brown-tail Moth, and provides a glimpse into the fascinating world of insect behavior and the delicate balance of nature. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of entomology, the science of pest control, or the challenges of safeguarding our food supply and environment in an era of increasing globalization and climate change. It is well-written and engaging, offering a unique perspective on the often-overlooked but vitally important role that insects play in our world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

A brief reference has already been made to the San José Scale Act, which was passed by the Federal Government in 1898, prohibiting the importation of trees and other nursery stock from countries in which the San Jose Scale occurred. In 1901, fumigation stations were established at six of the customs ports, through which nursery stock was allowed to cuter during certain periods of the year after fumiga tion with hydrocyanic acid gas. Beyond this power to fumigate imports, the Federal Government had no authority to take further action, should it be necessary, to prevent the introduction of other insect pests into Canada or the spreading of insect pests already existing in Canada. In 1909, winter webs of the Brown-tail Moth were found on shipments of nursery stock imported from France into Ontario, Quebec. And British Columbia; the same insect was also firmly established in Nova Scotia. It was necessary, therefore, that we should have the requisite powers to prevent the introduction of this pest into these parts of Canada not already infested and its spreading in regions where it had become established. Accordingly, The Destructive Insect and Pest Act was passed in 1910, under which regulations were made provid ing for the prohibition of entry, fumigation on entry, or inspection subsequent to entry, of nursery stock, or defining other conditions under which nursery stock and other vegetation might be introduced into Canada. The regulations, which include all the provisions of the San J osé Scale Act, also provided for the treatment of vegs tation or premises to prevent the spreading of insect pests, the destruction of any crop, tree, and other vegetation infested, or suspected to be infested, the granting of compensation, and such other steps as might be considered necessary to carry out the objects of the Act.
All vegetation and nursery stock, except certain classes of fiorists' stock, such as greenhouse grown plants, herbaceous perennials, bedding plants, &c., is allowed to enter Canada through certain ports only. At six if which, namely, St. John, NB St. John's, p.q.; Niagara Falls, Ont.; Windsor, Ont.; Winnipeg, Man.; and Van couver, b.c fumigation stations are established. Where stock fumigation is fumigated before being released by the Customs, and a certificate of fumigation is given. For stock requiring inspection, a different procedure is necessary. All vegeta tion and nursery stock, except the classes already mentioned, coming from Europe, J span, or the States of Vermont, Maine. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, is inspected, and the general method of procedure is as follows.
