Description

An insect species list associated to a flour mill in Cape Verde was presented. The possible factors responsible for the differences observed in the different locations within the flour mill were discussed. Results obtained in 1999 were compared with data recorded in 1984 in identical conditions inside this flour mill. During two years the risk estimate from Lepidoptera infestations was carried out in this flour mill using pheromone traps. The number of adults captured in the pheromone traps recorded weekly within two years, indicated the places with higher infestation levels and allowed to estimate the risk assessment and to make decisions for controlling and planning clean actions against Ephestia cautella and E. kuehniella.
