Four New Insect Poisons Announced
San Francisco reports the American Chemical Society heard about four new insecticides touted as more potent than DDT. Compound 497 could replace 40 pounds of DDT per housefly and is 100 times deadlier to roaches, but both it and compound 118 are experimental for now. BNP and BNB target pests DDT fails to control. Developed by Rex Lidow and partners, 497 and 118 persist longer. 497 lasts up to two months and should be used on non food products. 118 is effective but shorter lived and may be sprayed on crops up to three weeks before harvest.
