Ophura aenescens (Weid.) was tested as a biocontrol agent against 

 house flies. Laboratory and anatomical evidence is presented to show 

 that larvae of 0. aenescens are predaceous. The ability of Hermetia 

 illuoens (L.) to preclude larvae of other flies from its growth media 

 was investigated and results corroborated by field observations. 



Light traps, granular baits and contact residual insecticides were 

 evaluated for adult house fly control. 



The efficacies of labeled and unlabeled acaricides were evaluated 

 for northern fowl mite control. The effects of northern fowl mites on 

 egg production were evaluated on 12 strains of laying hens.
