Objective To comprehensively assess the current status of pest control in refuse disposal site by vector control personnel from across the country,and provide valuable data to support guidelines for the prevention and control of pests in sanitary workplaces.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with two online questionnaires targeting vector control personnel.The first survey focused on gathering basic information,the configuration of the waste disposal site,and vector control issues.The second survey aimed to assess respondents'acceptance of vector control indicators.The Pearson chi-square test was used to compare the differences in the recognition of vector control personnel from different provinces and cities.Results 75%valid questionnaires were collected from 30 cities in 17 provinces.66.7%of respondents identified dry waste disposal sites as waste transfer stations,while wet garbage disposal sites and final disposal sites were identified as kitchen waste dumps(37.3%)and landfills(58.7%),respectively.In cities with a population between500 000 and1.5 million inhabitants,there are 1 to 25 dry waste disposal sites,1 to 5 wet waste disposal sites and 1 to 3 final disposal sites per city surveyed.86.7%of respondents considered fly infestation to be a major hazard in waste disposal in all provinces.Currently,the problem with vector control is that the pest cannot be effectively controlled and the reference standard is not clear.57.3%of respondents believe that waste separation is strictly enforced.30.7%of respondents were not sure if their government conducts regular monitoring for pests.52.0%of respondents stated that rubbish trucks are disinfected and deodorized daily,while 53.3%of respondents believed that fly control measures are implemented at waste dumpsites.A total of 812 valid questionnaires were collected from 28 cities in 13 provinces.Between 85%and 96%of pest control organization(PCO)staff and between 96%and 99%of waste disposal sites and other vector control staff believed that current pest control indicators were adequate.There were significant differences in the consensus on density of mosquitoes,flies,rats and cockroaches between bins in residential areas and landfill sites(P＜0.05).No significant difference was found between Shanghai and other provinces in the detection of rat traces≤1 place/natural space in unclassified waste disposal site(P=0.059),but there was a significant difference in the detection of the appropriateness of each indicator in bins in residential areas and landfills(P＜0.05).Conclusion Waste dumps that are constantly updated in terms of function and quantity.Domestic pest control personnel had a high level of awareness of existing vector control indicators.However,there are various problems with unclear reference standards and incomplete vector control measures.Therefore,this inventory on vector control in waste disposal sites can be a valuable reference for the formulation of technical guidelines for vector control.
