Abstract
At the Kerrville, Texas, laboratory, hundreds of chemicals are tested annually to find insecticides that will give better control of biting flies than those currently recommended by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Although the Department recommends a number of insecticides for control of horn flies (Siphona irritans (L.)), their use is limited either by a short period of effectiveness or because of the residues that appear in meat or milk of treated animals.Keywords
