Abstract
O-Dichlorobenzene and p-dichlorobenzene gave good control of housefly larvae in simulated pit latrines when applied, respectively, at the rate of 15-25 and 10-20 gm. per sq. foot. Both chemicals were highly effective against fly eggs. 5% of DDT in fuel oil gave poor results against the maggots, but did provide an effective residue for adults. o-Dichlorobenzene, acetylene tetrachloride, benzene hexachloride, and Thanite showed promising results when used to destroy maggots in carcasses.Keywords
