Look Out for Flies, Mosquitos
Next Spring and Summer
By FRANK CAREY
Auociftted Preu Sclenct Reporter)
Tampa, Fla., Dec. 14 () You'd Detter get your fly-swatter and
mosquito-slapping hand in shape because next spring and sum
mer those pests may give you your roughest time since the ad
vent of DDT and other new insect killers.
That's the view of Dr. A. M. Boyce of the University of Cali
fornia, president of the Amen--
can Association of Economic En
tomologists.
He says that growing evidence
of the resistance of the house
fly to DDT and other powerful
new Insecticides, and recent
findings that some species of
common mosquitoes are getting
too tough for DDT, all adds up
to this gloomy outlook for next
year:
1. Increasing areas of the na
tion may find their flies have
built up the resistance already
reported from many sections
not only to DDT but to other
chemicals developed since its
advent.
2. More areas may find the
mosquito resistance to DDT al
ready noted in a few sections,
and additional resistance strains
may crop up. Furthermore, it
might be well that nature's No,
1 dive-bomber will begin to
build up the brush-off to a few
strong insecticides which now
work where DDT will not.
The other chemicals are "lin
dane," and a third named "tox-aphene."
Pointing out that those three
chemicals at first worked against
strains of house-flies that had
become coy to DDT but then
showed evidence of having shot
their bolts Boyce told report
er:
The same thing could well
happen in the case of mosqui
toes, although we're hoping it
won't.
'This matter of resistance on
the part of house-flies and mos
quitoes could get really rough.
It's possible that the people will
eventually have to go back to
the old method of the flyswat-
ter for the fly and hand-slapping
for the mosquito.
Dr. Boyce was interviewed on
the eve of a joint four-day ses
sion of his society with the En
tomological Society of America
and the Florida Pest Control association.
But while he declared that
this matter of resistance con
stitutes the prime problem of
insect researchers, he said there
are hopes of overcoming it
and most of them are based on
lessons of the continuing war
being waged against pests which
attack the rich citrus crops of
Texas, California and Florida.
Those states are the country's
chief source of citrus fruits.
Declaring that most of the
advances made against all agri
cultural crop enemies of the na
tion stem from researches done
on citrus pests, Boyce gave this
outline:
Citrus-fruit researchers be
lieve they have worked out the
hereditary pattern of pest resis
tance to insecticides opening
up the possibility of crossing ex
tremely susceptible strains with
extremely resistance strains in
the hope of developing medio
cre races that might be soft for
a good insecticide.
These same researchers have
determined exactly how an in
secticide works when it does
Waterloo Resident
