TH URSDAY, JUN E I, 1967 V, OREGON THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NV PAGE FOUR Agriculture Men Find Yellow Jacket Control People who get the blues when yellow jackets threaten summer outdoor activities may get some help from a discovery made by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture En tomology Research Station near Corvallis, Oregon. A new way to control yellow jackets may result from a pow erful lure tested by USDA Ag ricultural Research Service en tomologists Harry G. Davis and Gaines W. Eddy. The attractant drew hundreds of yellow jackets to pint jars containing less than 1/100 ounce of the material. The material was originally produced by ARSchemists Ter rence P. McGovern and Morton Beroza in their Beltsville, Md. laboratory for use in efforts to attract the European chafer. Davis and Eddy found that al though the chafer didn’t re spond to the attractant, yellow jackets did. Eddy said that the lure at tracted different species of yel low jackets in Oregon, includ ing a species which is one of the most widespread in Oregon, California and possibly other states. He said about 150 similar compounds were tested in 1962 with best results gained from an ester called 2,4-hexa- dienyl butyrate. Additional tests during the last year turned up several more compounds even more powerful than the original material. According to the ARS ento mologists, the lures are speci fic for yellow jackets and do not attract beneficial insects such as honey bees. The sci entists pointed out that although yellow jackets do kill some flies and other undesirable in sects, they are a nuisance and one of the more difficult in sects to control. ’’The yellow jacket sting is not only painful, but can be fatal to some people,” Eddy said. “The insects also as semble in large numbers around food, disrigiting picnics and out door meals of sportsmen, campers and backyard barbe- cuers.” He added that the insects are also a potential health hazard since they may mechanically transmit germs picked up when they visit trash cans and other places where unwanted food is discarded. The ARS scientists claimed the lures might provide a new or better way to control yellow jackets when used as a bait in traps where the insects could not be killed by an insecticide. The lures would minimize the amount of insecticide needed and traps could be so con structed that children and ani mals could not reach the in secticide. Another possibility would be to employ a slow-acting in secticide that the yellow jackets could carry back to their nests to kill their young as well, they explained. The use of the lures in conjunction or com bined with chemosterilants, pathogens, or both, also offers a new approach to control. Now that the potential of the lures has been demonstrated, ARS sci entists plan additional tests to determine practical applica tions which might be made with the lures.
