Garden Insect Control
Home gardeners do not need
a wide variety of insecticides to
achieve satisfactory insect con
trol. One or two carefully
chosen materials are usually
sufficient. Malathion and Sevin
are the two most popular
garden insecticides because
they are safe and both will con
trol many garden pests. Sevin.
also known as carbaryl, works
well on most “worms” (cater
pillars) and beetles but is in
effective against aphids (plant
lice). Sevin is also toxic to
honey bees and other pollina
tors.
Malathion controls aphids and
gives acceptable control of
most other garden pests if the
temperature is above 60 °F.
Some gardeners have found its
odor objectionable in the past,
but the premium grade formu
lations that are now available
smell much better.
A new type of insecticide for
“worm” control that is very
safe for humans and insect
pollinators is becoming popular
in home gardens. Known as Ba
cillus thuringiensis or B.T., it is
a spore-forming bacteria that
controls only caterpillars, those
“worms” that later turn into
butterflies or moths. It will not
control beetle grubs or fly
maggots. Caterpillars stop eat
ing soon after treatment, turn
pale green to white, and die
several days later. B.T. is sold
under at least four brand
names: Biotrol, Dipel, Larva
trol, and Thuricide. Small
garden-size packages are avail
able.
Several other insecticides are
available for garden insect con
trol. Most have certin restric
tions that limit their usefulness.
Diazion (Spectracide) is toxic
to a wide range of insect pests
and has government registra
tion for many vegetables. The
25 per cent liquid concentrate
carries a WARNING label and
must be handled with care. The
granular formulations have
j CAUTION labels and are oc
- casionally used against soil
> borne insects before the garden
is planted. Soil insecticides
should not be used unless a ser
ious soil insect problem cannot
be controlled by garden clen
up, crop rotation, or similar
cultural methods.
Methoxychlor is very safe for
humans and may control cer
tain garden pests for weeks
after application. It is ineffec
tive against aphids.
Rotenone and pyrethrins are
safe, but they are quickly
broken down by sunlight and
must be applied often. Pyreth
rins are often added to insecti
cide formulations for quick in
sect knockdown.
Endosulfan (Thiodan) has
cerain uses on crops like to
maties, cucumbers, and po
tatoes. It is somewhat more
toxic to humans than most
other garden insecticides, but
the dust has a CAUTION label.
The foregoing list of insecti
cides is by no means complete.
Gardeners should, however, be
able to achieve good garden in
sect control by the proper use
of one or two of these materi
als. Detailed recommendations
for insecticides may be obtain
ed from your county extension
office. Ask for the bulletin en
titled “Insect Control for Vege
table Gardeners.”

Prevent storage problems —
