May Doom Skeeters Use Hormones To Fight Mosquitoes
University of California researchers report synthetic growth hormones can curb pesticide resistant mosquitoes without widespread chemical spraying. Hormones sprayed on breeding sites disrupt larvae growth, with outcomes including shell-splitting death or delayed maturation. Claims of environmental safety and rapid dissipation are noted, while cost estimates range from 1.50 to 4.50 dollars per acre versus current pesticide spraying. A 1952 encephalitis outbreak linked to resistance is cited as precedent for ongoing concern.
