Development of Ground and Aerial Adult Control Measures for Biting Diptera without Using Persistent Pesticides.

摘要

Field investigative studies, spanning a 3-year period, were conducted to minimize the nuisance caused by biting black flies at Fort Drum, NY. Ground and aerial chemical control measures were employed with little success. The prevention of bites through the use of repellent impregnated jackets was most promising. Additionally, survey techniques and species bionomics were studied and some laboratory studies were conducted to assist in control measures. Several preprints and reprints of results from these studies are included.
