rid Antelope Island State Park of some of its pesky brine flies At the same time students from Weber State College are studying the fly’s reaction to pesticide and the effect their elimination on the other plants and animals in the region In the beginning stages of research the parks department was not aware of the work students from the college were doing” says Dr David S Hav-ert- z professor of zoology KNOW OF WORK Now they know of each others’ work “We are putting our efforts together We want to see the pesticide administered with a minimal amount of damage to all life in the area” he says “We have monitered resistance of the fly to pesticide studied how far they migrate and found when the larvae emerge as adults” says Dr “These findings all Havertz help determine what effect the elimination would have on other animal and plant life in the area” “It has been found that the fly cannot build up any resistance to pesticides” he states “This means that an increased amount of pesticides will not have to be used to eliminate the population as time pro- gresses” 200 YARDS Dr Havertz says “The flies only migrate about 200 yards which means that spraying can be done in confined areas rather than large ones” “We have feund that the spraying program we recommend will have no effect in the small mammal population in the area” states Dr Havertz ' “We also had to study the eating habits of the small animals on the island” he ex- installation of a district conferthe in partition ence room —Expenditure of some $10000 to $12000 to provide adequate venting of the
