Crickets were more susceptible to chlordane than to DDT. A 0.05 per- 
cent chlordane dust killed 88.4 percent of crickets (nymphs and adults} in 
2 days while a 1-percent technical grade DDT dust gave only 84.7 percent 
mortality. — Sun et al. ( 450 ).

Wheat bran bait containing 1-percent of chlordane killed 100 percent 
of these crickets in 10 days. A 50-percent chlordane wettable powder at 
4 pounds per 100 gallons of water per 1000 square feet of surface was 
also effective.— Hay Blip ( 211 . 212).

Chlordane kills much faster than does DDT. For seedbeds it is ad- 
vised to use 50-percent chlordane emulsion at the rate of 1/4 pint to 100 
gallons of water, applying this solution by means of a sprinkling can to 
1,000 square feet of seedbed area. One application should be sufficient 
to give protection for at least two to three weeks. Two pounds of 50- 
percent chlordane wettable powder mixed with 50 pounds of wheat bran 
makes an efficient poison bait. Application is made in the late after- 
noon or evening. The killing power seems to be increased by rains or 
artificial watering.— Kelsheimer ( 260-252 ). 
As little as 1/4 pound of chlordane as a 50-percent wettable powder 
in 100 gallons of water per 1000 square feet killed 95 percent of 
southern mole crickets in 8 day a. A 5-percent chlordane dust at 60 
pounds per acre killed 95 percent in 10 days. The dust was mixed with 
commercial fertilizer and applied to the upper 2 inches of soil.—

The University of Wisconsin ( 503 ) recommends chlordane for cricket 
control in the same dosage as used for grasshopper control.

When applied as 2.5-percent kerosene sprays to various surfaces the 
initial toxicities of DDT, BHC, and chlordane are of the same order but
