How... When... Where 
in INSECT CONTROL 
A leading entomologist recently said, 
“Progress in the last three years in de- 
velopment of insecticides has been greater 
than in the previous fifty.”’ 
The great sensation of the insecticide 
field has, of couse, been DDT. It can 
now be said that DDT has fully lived 
up to its early promise of help for the 
home gardener, It has rightly been 
credited with miraculous results in many 
serious situations. 
However, it must be remembered that 
DDT is not a cure-all. No single insecti- 
cide can ever take care of every situ- 
ation. 
Chlordane, the new wonder 
Now comes another widely heralded new 
chemical miracle for the gardener— 
chlordane (also known as 1068). And 
again the results are living up to the 
early promises. Chlordane must now be 
recognized as a great new weapon in 
the battle with the insects. 
But chlordane, like DDT, is not a cure-all. 
Remember, therefore, to consider it as 
just one more tool for the gardener—a 
highly valuable tool, but not a universal 
remedy. 
What will chlordane do? 
It is highly effective against grasshoppers 
and the American cockroach, Colorado 
potato beetle, squash bug, and some 
aphids. It is very effective on ant nests. 
It is the fastest working chemical yet 
found against Japanese beetle grubs in 
soil, killing 24% times faster than DDT. 
Further experience probably will increase 
the list of victories for Chlordane. 
Meanwhile, we suggest that you begin 
to use this newcomer, while keeping on 
with DDT for the purposes it serves best. 
Identify your insects! 
Another page of this book gives you 
some full color portraits of common in- 
sects. For further help in identifying 
and classifying the job that confronts 
you, remember fundamental facts: 
Types of insects 
Biting or Chewing insects such as beetles, 
caterpillars, grasshoppers, and the like, 
can best be controlled by the application 
of poisons to the plants upon which they 
feed. 
Sucking Insects such as aphids, weevils, 
leaf hoppers, etc., insert their beaks into 
the leaves, stems or fruits and suck the 
plant juices. Hence ‘stomach’ poisons 
applied to the surface of the plant will 
not kill them. They must be killed by 
use of contact poisons. 
Scale Insects that develop protective cover- 
ings are most easily killed by strong 
corrosive solutions, such as a concen- 
trated lime-sulphur mixture, applied dur- 
ing late fall or winter when foliage is off 
the plants—and by other materials.
