Chlordane has been tested against several species of sucking and 
biting lice and found to be highly effective, — Bushland (jiZ); Bishopp 
and Knipling Qjfc) . 
Tests with identified species have been reported a3 follows: 
Anoplura - Haematopinidae 
flaematopinus advent icius Neum., the hog louse 
In one test with a few animals chlordane wettable powder spray at 
0.2 percent concentration gave apparent complete control of hog lice.— 
U. S. Bur. Ent. and Plant Q,uar. (468). 
Sprays containing 0.2 percent of DDT, TDE, or chlordane completely 
elimininated lice on hogs in tests made in Massachusetts in 1946. No 
irritation or harmful effects from the insecticides were observed. The 
chlordane acted most rapidly and the lice began to drop in a few minutes.— 
Sweetman ( 451 ) • 
Haemato-pinus eurysternus (Nitz.), the short-nosed cattle louse 
Linognathus vituli (L.), the long-nosed cattle louse 
A 0.5 percent chlordane suspension destroyed all short-nosed and 
long-nosed lice on heavily infested cattle in less than 8 hours, was non- 
irritating, and a single application was nontoxic to newborn calves. — 
U. S. Bur. Animal Ind. (465). 
Tests on cattle against sucking lice of the species Haemato-pinus 
eurysternus and on goats against biting lice, Bovicola spp., indicate 
that the motile forms are killed with lower concentrations of chlordane 
than are required for DDT. — Enipling (264). 
Linognathus , setosus (Olf.), the dog sucking louse 
No lice were found on dogs 24 hours after they had been dipped in a 
0#42-percent technical chlordane emulsion. — Turk and Batte (46pj. 
Anoplura - Pediculidae 
Pedi cuius hvunanus corporis Deg., the body louse 
Chlordane was found to be outstanding against the body louse, but 
less persistent than DDT or toxaphene. — Bishopp Q2). 
When impregnated in cloth or when employed in powder form, chlordane 
proved much more effective than DDT. It also acted faster than DDT, 
paralyzing lice in 3 hours as compared with 6 hours for DDT. When compared
