Show Control of Earwigs Should Begin Now Earwig control should begin soon and it should be practiced by everyone in an infested area, if most economical and satisfactory satisfac-tory control is to be obtained, states Dr. George P. Knowlton, Utah State Agricultural College Extension entomologist. Either, chlordane and DDT, applied ap-plied as a spray or dust about foundations, trees, shrubs and rubbish rub-bish piles, will destroy earwigs which spend time in contact with chemicals soon after they are put out. Fly control by means of power sprayers, where DDT or DDT-chlcrdane DDT-chlcrdane combination sprays are liberally applied about all buildings, build-ings, plus application of the insecticide insec-ticide to places where earwigs hide, will give excellent relief from this pest. This program has given relief from the earwig in Box Elder El-der County areas where the fly and mosquito control county program pro-gram has aided greatly in earwig ear-wig control. European earwigs will move in from any nearby untreated places. So why not cooperate, neighbors, and all of you benefit from greater great-er relief from earwig annoyance ? |
