Tussock moth control using

DDT, discovered by Dr. Mueller in Switzerland, and used for insect vector control during World War II, quickly found a place in forestry, as well as agriculture. The material proved highly effective in the control of such insects as the spruce budworm, tussock moth, hemlock looper, and many others. It was widely used in the Northeast for control of the introduced Gypsy moth during these early years. The low toxicity of DDT to mammals made it to appear to be an excellent insecticide for forestry use. It was only after subsequent studies revealed the impact on other species that reservations about its use was raised. [Pg.8]
