hlEW IN SECT 101S
A possible solution for the hazard created
by the residue from DDT is under way. In
vestigations are being made of several an
alogs or close relatives of DDT which are
not as toxic to warm-blooded animals as is
DDT. The most promis ing, is methoxychlor
which is said to be only one-fortieth as
toxic as DDT. Its chemical name is Bis
(MethOxyphenyl). trichloroethane, Duront
is'manufacturing this in limited' quantities.
It‘.is said to be superior to DDT for the con
trol of flies and Mexican bean beetles, but
not as good as DDT for the control of the
codling moth.
Another DDT relative, is called D^D. This
is manufactured by the Rhom £: Hass company
under the trade name of Bhothane. It is
reported as being much less toxic to warm
blooded animals than DDT.
CONTROL INSECTS I: V FEED

carrying insects shows that it is possible
in some cases to kill these pests by feed
ing to animals certain chemicals that will
make the blood of the animals deadly to the
blood-sucking insect pests that prey on them.
Typhus carrying lice and yellow fever-car
rying mosquitoes have boon killed in this
way.
