Abstract
Control of the house fly, Musca domestica L., in dairy barns has become an increasingly important problem in recent years because of rigid restrictions on pesticide residues in milk and the ever-increasing list of insecticides to which house flies have developed resistance. The first problem can be somewhat alleviated by using organophosphate and carbamate insecticides that are more biodegradable than the chlorinated hydrocarbons; however, we must apparently live with resistance until new means of control are developed. For the present, the continuing evaluation of new insecticides is necessary. The present paper reports evaluations of 9 insecticides made in field tests during the summer of 1966.
