New Chemical
Weapon Approved
For insect Control
A new weapon against house
flies, mosquitoes, and certain
other pests threatening public
health was announced today by
F. W. Hatch, Manager of Julius
Hyman and Company Division,
Shell Chemical Corporation. The
new insecticide, dieldrin, is a
sister-product to aldrin, the pro
duct used earlier this year with
remarkable effectiveness against
grasshopper and locust plagues in
the. United States, the .Middle
East, and Asia. Like aldrin, dield
rin is a powerful insecticide, but
in additiop, it remains effective
longer against flies. One applica
tion lasts several weeks in areas
exposed to the weather and for
several months in protected areas.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has just accepted the label,
allowing the outdoor use of dield
rin for control of adult house
flies, mosquitoes, mosquito lar
vae, salt-marsh said fly larvae,
ticks, chiggers, and fleas.
Mr. Hatch (points out,however,
that dieldrin formulations for
these newly approved uses are
meant to be handled only by or
under the direction of trained per
sonnel such as Pest Control Op
erators, public health officials,
and mosquito abatement district
officials.
In announcing the U.S.D.A.’s
acceptance of the dieldrin label,
Mr. Hatch explained certain re
volutionary techniques for house-
• fly control in New York and ad
joining states. Of particular note
was his description of the “strip
method” used in dairy barns and
other farm buildings where chem
ical controls of this nature could
not heretofore be used. In this
method, strips of fine mesh screen
are immersed in a dieldrin solu
tion, removed and dried over
night. The strips are then' fasten
ed at given spacing on surfaces
that have been found to be at
tractive to flies, such as door
entrances, ceilings, etc.
“Since flies tend to grasp a
screen surface,” Mr. Hatch ex
plained, “they literally embrace
the poison, giving it the best pos
sible chance to work. A marked
reduction in fly population may
be noted within twenty-four hours
and treated strips are effective
for several weeks. At the end of
this time they can be removed
and re-treated if necessary,” Mr.
Hatch concluded.
The promise of control of chig
gers, ticks and fleas is heartening
news for resorts, campgrounds and
recreational areas. Dieldrin, ap
plied in amounts varying from
approximately % pound ^ to ono
pound of actual material per acre,
offers economical yet practical
control of these annoying pests.
