(a) Permanent control measures, such as land drainage and filling,
cannot be accomplished.
(b) There is no access for ground dispersal equipment.
(c) Screening, repellants, space sprays, and residual treatments are
not adequate in controlling vector-borne diseases.

*This directive supersedes MACV Directive 40-10, 25 April 1968.

�MACV Dir 40-10

.

(d) Ground fog, mist, or other insectlcldal mixture• do not control
large population* of disease transmitting Insects.
(e)

Treatment of a major breeding area by aircraft dispersion is
more economical than the use of ground equipment.

. (f) The installation/area commander has trained personnel (medical
and/or engineer) to conduct entomological surveys, to indicate areas
requiring treatment, to schedule proper dates for spraying, and
to determine spray effectiveness.
(2) For pest control when arthropod borne disease outbreaks occur,
requiring rapid coverage of large ground areas.
b.

In view of the significant incidence of malaria In the RVN, the aerial dispersal
of Insecticides from military aircraft to support military operations is authorized.

c.

Only aerial dispersal equipment which has been approved by the Armed Forces
Pest Control Board is to be used to disperse Insecticides from fixed or rotary
wing aircraft.

d.

Malathion (either 57 percent water emulsifiable concentrate or 95 percent
technical B-grade) used at a rate not to exceed 0.5 pounds of the technical
toxicant per acre is the only Insecticide currently approved for aerial dispersal in the RVN. Request* to use other insecticides are to be justified
and forwarded to this headquarters, ATTN: MACMD-PS.

e.

Aerial dispersal equipment which has been used to dispense herbicides is
not to be used to disperse insecticides.

�CURRENT PEST CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. PURPOSE;

,

'

The continued spread of resistance to insecticides, and the development
of new pesticides necessitates frequent changes in pest control recommendations. Current recommendations are summarized in this memorandum. It
does not provide a complete discussion of applicable control measures for;
the various pests listed, but may be used in conjunction with the tri-service
manual, "Insect and. Rodent Control" (TM 5-632; NAVDOCKS TP-Pu-2;
ATM 85-7). For convenience, recommendations included herein are keyed to
corresponding pages of the manual.
•-. ...

MOSQUITOES;
Temporary Control Methods (Cl. 04, page 44)

Resistance to insecticides in mosquitoes is widespread, not only in
species which are^ disease vectors, but also in those chiefly important from
an annoyance standpoint. In the United States resistance to chlorinated
hydrocarbon insecticides has been detected in at least twelve species of
mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti, A. dorsalis, A. nigromaculis, A. sollicitans,
A. taeniorhynchus, Anopheles crucians, A. quadrimaculatus, Culex pipiens,
C. quinquefasciatus, C. tarsalis, Psorophora confinnis, and _P. discolor).
In general the substitution ;of organophosphorus compounds for chlorinated
hydrocarbon toxicants has provided effective control for resistant strains
although in several localities resistance to the organic phosphates has also
appeared. Laboratory tests (see TIM Nr. 3) should be conducted annually to
determine the resistance or susceptibility of local mosquitoes in order to
select the proper insecticide to use in a control program. Laboratory tests ;
should be confirmed by field observations and it should be remembered that
DDT is still the insecticide of choice where resistance has not developed.
i

a. Ground Larviciding'(page 45). If mosquitoes are proved to be resis-'
tant to the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides by laboratory tests,
• :
malathion at the rate of 0. 2 to 0. 5 Ib. of toxicant per acre may be applied
and has given good control of most species. However, in California, Culex
tarsalis larvae and adults have developed resistance to malathion and Aedes
niqromaculus larvae have developed resistance to parathion and malathion in
a few areas. Malathion may be used at from 0. 2 to 0. 5 Ib. per acre without
harm to most kinds of wildlife but temporary reduction in some species of
fish, such as gambusia and shellfish, may occur at these dosages. Paris

�green granular formulations have been found to be highly effective against
salt marsh mosquitoes in the southeastern United States. They are recommended for larviciding in order to minimize the development of resistance
where there is extensive use of malathion as an adulticide.
b. Aerial Larviciding (page 47). In the event mosquitoes are resistant
to the chlorinated hydrocarbons, malathion can be substituted. An application rate of 0. 5 Ib. of toxicant per acre, either as a liquid spray or in
granules has given good control of most species.
c. Residual Sprays (page 47). Adult mosquito populations resistant to'
DDT can be effectively controlled by a residual application of malathion at
200 mg/sq ft. In recent tests with_A_. quadrimaculatus, malathion applied
at that rate gave excellent control for 4 to 5 months.
d. Outdoor Control (page 48). Where DDT resistance has been encountered, malathion. at 0. 1 to 0. 5 Ib. per acre has given satisfactory temporary
results applied as fogs, mists, or dusts.

.

Control of Houseflies and Blowflies (C2. 03, page 52).
*

The almost universal development of resistance to the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides by houseflies, and the increasing spread of resistance
to the organic phosphates re-emphasizes the necessity for good sanitation
in fly control. The development of resistance also emphasizes the necessity
for continuing laboratory testing of flies from each installation to determine
their susceptibility to specific insecticides so that the development of resistance can be detected before the insecticide in use fails in the field.

,

a. New Insecticides; Resistance to all of the organic phosphates is not
common as yet in most areas and one or more of several registered insecticides will be found effective in most cases, that is, Diazinon, ronnel,*
-malathion, DDVP and Dibrom. Recommended application methods, dosages
and restrictions are detailed in the 1962 Report from the Communicable Disease
Center, Public Health Pesticides, March 1962 issue, Pest Control Magazine.
*The Communicable Disease Center indicated ronnel (Korlan) is very satisfactory for local preparation of fly-cords using normal precautions for handling
concentrates.
..

�b. Treatment of Breeding Areas
(1) Larvicides (page 53). There are indications that insecticide
applications to fly breeding areas for larval control may speed up the
development of resistance in houseflies. Therefore, the elimination of
fly breeding by good sanitation should be emphasized and larvicide.s;
used only as an emergency or occasional measure. Diazinon applied at
the rate of .100 mg per sq. ft. appears to give better larval control than
malathion or Dipterex. A solution or emulsion containing 0. 25% Diazinon
should be applied at the rate of 10 gallons per 1000 square feet.
(2) Pit Latrines (page 53). The Public Health Service has found
that treatment of privies, including the pit contents, with dieldrin, BHC
and chlordane resulted in an increase in housefly production in treated
privies, and has recommended that these insecticides not be used. Human
excrement in privies does not usually produce many houseflies. Untreated
privies normally show prolific breeding of the soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)
in a' semi-liquid medium, a condition fostered by the presence of the
soldier fly larvae. Such media are not conducive to housefly propagation.
However, if the above insecticides are applied, the soldier fly infestation
is destroyed, the media becomes semi-solid in nature and suitable for
breeding of houseflies. The latter usually being resistant to the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, are not affected by treatment, and an
increase in the prevalence of houseflies results.

" '

a. Sand Flies (C3. 02, pages 56-58). Larvicides are no longer recommended for use against the salt marsh sand fly because "their larvae may
'become resistant to the chlorinated hydrocarbons after a few applications
as indicated by observations in Florida and Panama and control of the adults
becomes more difficult and expensive. Fogging with malathion, painting of
insect screening with 0. 1% lindane solution which apparently continues to
repel, and the use of deet as a skin repellent, are recommended control
measures.
•. b. Black Flies (C3. 03, page 58). Where there are large numbers of
breeding locations that are inaccessible from the ground aerial larviciding
(either with conventional or rotary-wing aircraft) or aerial pretreatment of
snow with DDT has been used successfully. Control has also been obtained
through the use of Plaster of Paris blocks impregnated with DDT (5-1/2 Ib.
25% DDT, 11 Ib. plaster, 2-3/4 pt. water). One 3" x 12" x 3/4" block will
control larvae in a flowing stream 30' x 1-1/2' x 1 mile. Because of the

�long flight range of blackflies and heavy population pressure in areas
surrounding the control area/ aerosols orsiist sprayers cannot be depended
upon to give effective control for any significant period of time. Standard
repellents will provide protection from btaaskfly bites for several hours.

BEDBUGS;

' . ' . ' " .

.

Control Methods (C4. 02, pages 60*562)

The insecticide resistance of bedbugs in the United States has so
far been confined to DDT, and'such insecticides as BHC (or lindane) and
malathion are being used successfully as substitutes. Lindane may be
used at 0. 5% strength for treatment of baseboards and other hiding places
but no stronger than 0. 1% on mattresses. Similarly, malathion may be
used at 1. 0% on baseboards and walls ISut no stronger than 0. 5% on beds.
Only £. Light application of either insecticide should be made to mattresses and upholstery, and bedding usied by infants should not be
treated. Mattresses and furniture should not be retreated in less thantwo weeks.
)

The common bedbugs, Cimex lectularlus and _C. hemiptsrus, have
also been reported resistant to DDT in many other areas, and resistance
to BHC, dieldrin, chlordane, and methoxychlor has been reported in some
C r eas, indicating the need for tests to determine susceptibility prior to »
large scale control operations.

Control (C5. 03, pages 63-67).
Resistance to DDT in body lice is becoming generally more prevalent.
Resistance to lindane is also increasing, and a few reports have been
received of significant resistance to pyrethrum. Recent field trials indicate that a 1% malathion dust is even more effective than lindane and is
safe for personnel dusting. li is now recommended for use where DDT
and linedane resisLance occurs. In reserve another formulation is available that has proven to oe effective. This contains 0. 2% pyrethrins, 2%
suifoxide as a synergist, 2% of 2,4-dinltroanisole as an ovicide, and
0. 1% Phenol S (isopropyl cresols) as an antioxidant.

�7. FLEAS;
Control Measures (C6. 02, page 69)
*,

'
'

Resistance in fleas has been difficult to prove in the laboratory / but
repeated control failures provide rather conclusive proof that cat and dog
fleas are frequently resistant to the chlorinated hydrocarbons in the
United States.
,
.
Control of resistant fleas on dogs and cats can be obtained through
the use of a dust containing 4 to 5% malathion, or a 0. 5% malathion
spray. Rotenone or pyrethrum dusts may also be used.
Infestations inside buildings may be controlled through the use of
1. 0% malathion emulsion spray or the 4 to 5% dust. In recent trials a ..
1% emulsion of Diazinon applied to infested yards at a rate of 1 gallon
per 1000 sq. ft. gave almost complete control for the 63 day observation
period. A 4 to 5% malathion dust applied at a rate of 1 to 2 Ibs per
1000 sq. ft. has also given good control.
Personnel should insure that lack of control is not due to inadequate
^overage or improper application techniques prior to changing insecticides.

Control Measures (C7. 03, pages 71-72)
a. Methods of Personal Protection. Diethyltoluamide", now available in standard stock, is a very effective tick repellent for application to the skin and to clothing. However, it readily leaches from
clothing and must be re-applied after the clothing becomes soaked from
heavy rain or wading.
,'b. Control on Animals. Recent information received from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture indicates that the 2% DDT. wash or dip previously recommended for controlling ticks on dogs may be too strong.
A 0. 5% DDT dip is now recommended. A 0. 5% malathion emulsion is
effective as a spray or dip, or a 4% malathion dust may be used.
c. For treatment of infested areas. A spray containing 1 or 2 percent
malathion applied at the rate of 1-2 gallons/1000 square feet or Diazinon

�as a 0. 5% emulsion or solution as a spot application will control brown
dog ticks that have developed resistance to .the chlorinated hydrocarbon
insecticides (TIM Nr. 2, revised 1961).

TERMITES.'WOOD BORERS, AND FUNGI:

a. Prevention of Termite Damage (C9. 04, pages 80-82). Termite . . . '
shields are not recommended. The expense involved in fabrication and
maintenance of metal shields, and their relative ineffectiveness as compared with results obtained from the use of chemically treated soil and
impregnated wood make the use of termite shields obsolete.
b. Control Measures (C9.0S, pages 82-86). Insecticides added to
the soil have proved highly effective in preventing termite attack in new
military construction and in controlling infestations in existing buildings.
These chemicals should be applied just prior to placing concrete floor
slabs for structures with slab-on-ground constructions and while or subsequent to back filling around foundations for structures with basements
or crawl spaces. Water emulsions of any of the following materials can
be used effectively and without danger of harming, the roots of shrubs and
trees at the concentrations indicated:
Benzene hexachlofide - 0. 8% gamma isomer
Chlordane - 1.. 0%
Dieldrin - 0. 5%
Aldrin - 0. 5%
Heptachlor - 0. 5%
Applications should be as follows:

•
*

• (1) Under slabs on fill. 1-1/2 gallons per 10 square _3t for
'over-all treatment. In critical areas, such as at expansion joints,
around utility openings for pipes, conduits, and ducts, 2 gallons per 5
linear feet. Along the exterior perimeter of the slab, 2 gallons per 5
linear feet in a strip one foot wide in shallow trench.
(2) Foundation walls of structures with basements. Two gallons
per 5 linear feet, per foci: of depth, from finished grade to top of footings,
in a trench one foot wide. Apply one-third of the application near level •
of top of footings before any back fill is placed, one-third when half of
the back fill is placed, and the remainder when the trench is virtually
filled. Two gallons per 5 linear feet should be applied under the basement slab next to perimeter footings, and an over-all treatment as

�mentioned under alab-on-ground construction, to avoid entry if cracks
develop.
(3) Foundation walls of structures with crawl space. Two gallon
per 5 linear feet in a strip 1 foot wide in trench on exterior, with onehalf of the application near level of top of footings before any backfill'
is placed, and the remainder when the trench is virtually filled. Two
gallons per 5 linear feet should be applied in a strip 1 foot wide in.
shallow trench adjacent to the interior of the foundation. On sloping
ground, where the footing may be deep in places, the volume of chemical
required should be estimated on the same basis as for structures with
basement.
Soil chemicals should be applied for the protection of all structures
in which the materials or contents are subject to termite attack. Where
required by climatic conditions, porosity of soil treated, or heavy infestations of termites the dosage rates for soil treatment should be
increased to that which local, experience has demonstrated to be most
effective. Any variation in rate of application, materials or concentrations should be specifically recommended by the Army, Navy or Air
Force entomologist serving the area in which the installation, is located.
Water emulsifiable chemicals should normally be used. Oil solutions
in the same concentration may be used when recommended by appropriate technical authority. They should not be used against surfaces which
have been waterproofed or dampproofed with asphaltic or other materials
subject to deterioration by oil. Oil used for solutions should not be
heavier than No. 2 fuel oil.

COCKROACHES:

.

* *.

Control Measures (CIO. 02, pages 94-97)
*

The resistance of German cockroaches to chlordane continues to
become more prevalent but where control can still be obtained with
.this insecticide it should still be used. When resistance to chlordane
has been proven by laboratory tests, there is little value in switching
to other chlorinated hydrocarbons such as lindane and dieldrin because
resistance to them will develop rather rapidly. The most desirable
alternate insecticides' are Diazinon or malathion applied as a solution,
emulsion or dust. However, these do not provide the long residual
effect of chlordane and applications must be more thorough than with
chlordane. Second applications may be required one month after the

�first treatment in order to kill individuals which escaped and others which
hatch after the first treatment. Subsequent applications at three month
intervals should control- infestations. If resistance to both Diazinon and
malathion develops significantly in field operations, it is important that
this be reported promptly with a request for recommendation of an alternate insecticide. Recent studies at Orlando indicate that treatments
which utilize both 0. 5% Diazinon spray and a 2% Diazinon dust in appropriate areas provides the most complete and lasting control. The use of
"flushing agents", that is / materials such as pyrethrum, in sprays, are
useful in two ways. They cause the cockroaches to move about and
contact the insecticides more frequently thus offsetting to some extent
any tendency to avoid the toxic material. They also reveal the presence
of cockroaches and encourage the operator td give particularly thorough
treatments to infested areas.
11. ANTS;
Control Measures (Gil. 02, page £8)
The Imported Fire Ant has become a serious problem in nine southeastern states, and control has been initiated by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in cooperation with the affected states and landowners,
including military installations. If the Imported Fire Ant appears on an
installation, a report should be sent to the headquarters of the appropriate .military department with a request for assistance. Arrangements
will then be made with the U. S« Department of Agriculture for assistance
in surveys, the procurement of pesticides, and actual control operations
at and adjacent to the installation. The insecticide generally used is a
Mirex bait applied as directed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture*

Control of Storage Pests - Use of Insecticides and Fumigants
(C12. 03, pages 106-110).

A plastic coated tarpaulin fumigation kit may be used advan-c-coously
for the control of stored product insects. Such a kit is under development at the Engineer Research and Development Laboratories, Fort
Belvoir, Virginia. The tarpaulin will inclose approximately 2000 cu. ft. ,
which is sufficient for the treatme.v: of one half carload of commodities,
and is light enough to be handled easily by two men. Fumigation can be

�done on any gas tight surface such as a concrete floor,, asphalt pavement,
or on the ground. Sand snakes or loose soil may be used x&gt; hold the tarp
tightly against this solid surface 1.4 prevent escape of t^e, gas. A concentration of 1 to 1-1/2 Ibs. of methyl^brL:_^Ufc-pi:i'.ifrin':fe::r &gt;•:. should be
maintained for 24 hours for the fii mil's tic;-, ii. i^ast .focife;: fabrics and other
stored products at a temperature of 60° F. or higher. The sat may also be
used for soil fumigation in ordar tcx kill insects, nomGtodes and wood seeds
in the soil. For this purpose, a dosage of 1 Ib. of methyl bromide per 100
sq. ft. should be applied and maintained for a period of 2-. to 48 hours.
Details concerning the fumigation kit may be obtained from the Sanitary
Engineering Branch, Engineer Research and Development Laboratories,

INSECTS ATTACKING GRASSED AREAS:
*

Control Measures (CIS. 02, pages 112-116)
a

- Nematodes. '.In recent years it has been found that nematodes
infest many species of plants. 'Some of them attack the root system while
others "attack the portions above ground. Serious damage is inflicted to
a number of agricultural crops, including potatoes, wheat, strawberries,
soybeans, tomatoes, okra, and beaTi-s. The '-control r.vc enures for agricultural crops consist primarily of the treatment of the soil with materials
such as Nemagon, D-D or ethylene dibromide. These applications are
usually made with tractor-drawn equipment. At military"installations,
there is usually little need to control nematodes which infest agricultural
crops, but there is a growing realization that nematode control is desir-'
able for producing healthy nur aery, stock, Such mirseri z xaay include
improved grasses, shrubbery, shade trees, or forestry planting stock.
Large areas may be treated with the toxicants previously named. The
soil in small nurseries may be fumigated with methyl bromide as discussed
in Section 12.
b. Rhodes Grass ocale. 'This insect occurs in Texas, Louisiana,
and Florida, and attacks Bermuda grass and St. Augustine grass. The
adult is about 1/8 inch in diameter, globular, dark purplish brown,' and
covered with a white cottony secretion. The nymphs move around at
first, then settle down to feed, and secrets a wax which covers them.

�There may be five generations per year. Damage consists of sucking
the juice from the ;. ~.nt crowns, causing the plants to turn brown end
die. Damage is usuu., most severe curing dry periods. Control v
this grass pest is best undertaken by watering and fertilizing the lawn
area to provide a good healthy growth of grass, and chemical control
on a repetitive basis with malathion and summer oil sprays. The recommended chemical control for this scale is 5 pounds of malathion and
2-1/2 gallons of summer oil spray concentrate in at least 400 gallons
of water per acre of lawn. Three applications should be made at three ~ 7l"
week intervals to completely control the scale. If there appears to be
a'burning effect on grass after the first application, the summer oil
spray concentrate should be omitted from the second application, but
it should be included again in the third application.
c. Ground Pearls. The adult female scale insect secretes a white
waxy sac, in which,she places about 100 pinkish-white eggs. The
nymphs suck the juice from rootlets of Bermuda grass in the South and
•Southwest and from centipede grass in the South. The grass turns brown
in the summer and dies in the fall. The nymphs cover themselves with
hard globular shells about 1/8 inch in diameter and are called ground
pearls due to their resemblance to pearls. No satisfactory control
measure is known.
d. Chinch Bugs. Lawns in the East are sometimes'attacked by the
hairy chirrch bug (Blissus hirtus). The nymphs hatch in the spring and
infest lawns until late fall. The adults hibernate during the winter.
' **

In Florida and other southern areas, St. Augustine grass is attacked
and sometimes severely damaged by Blissus leucopterus insularis. The
bugs are active during the winter except on the coldest days.-. There are
3 to 5 generations per year in Florida. Damage can be kept to a minimum
by adequate fertilization and watering., and by avoiding close mowing
during dry weather. However, with severe infestations, insecticides-.
are required for control. Damage usually occurs in patches which increase in size as the bugs move outward into living grass. The
insecticide should be applied to the yellowing grass surrounding the
dead patches. While'the degree of control obtained is often unsatisfactory, the lawn may be saved from complete destruction. The quantity of
insecticide per treatment is shown on the following page, with the higher
dosages being recommended for Florida.

The insecticide should be watered in after application with large
amounts (600 to 1200.gallons per acre) of water. This is important in view
of the extremely heavy dosages applied in order to prevent contacts with.
surface residues by children or pets. These dosages present great hazard
to wildlife and the relative value of the lawn versus desirable species, if
present, must be considered. Two or three treatments may be required at
10 day intervals to control the infestation.

Resistance to available poisons has not become a problem in rat '
control. While no one rodcnticide meets all requirements under all
conditions, in general the slow acting anticoagulants are preferred
because of their general effectiveness and low;degree of toxic hazard
to humans and useful animals. The lowest bait concentration consistent
with effective control should be used at military installations for economy and safety.
A number of anticoagulants have been developed which have given «satisfactory results in laboratory tests and field use. It is anticipated ;that two items will be available in supply at a later date: (1) Rodenticide, Bait, Anticoagulant, a ready-to-use oatmeal plus anticoagulant
formulation, and (2) Rodenticlde, Anticoagulant, Universal Concentrate,
a formulation of a sodium or calcium salt of anianticoagulant, versene,
sodium benzoate and sugar for use in preparing solid or liquid baits.
Each item will contain biologically equivalent concentrations of ;
either diphacinone, fumarin, pival, PMP or warfarin. Pending availability of these items in military supply, the following recommendations
f o r u s e a r e made:
•
^ ; ; ; , . . . :
Solid baits - Fumarin, pival and warfarin Should be used at a concentration of 0. 025% (0. 25 mg/gm) active ingredient by weight; diphacinone at 0. 005% (0. 05 mg/gm); PMP at 0. 05% (0. 5 mg/gm). These
concentrations should be used regardless of the species of rats involved.
These concentrations are also effective against house mice.
• ^l':
Liquid baits - Liquid (water) baits may be ?more effective than solid
baits under certain conditions/ such as where water is scarce or where

12

�a variety oi foods are available. They may be used separately or in combination with solid baits. The sodium salts of warfarin, pival or fumarin
should be used at a strength of 0. 006% acid equivalent and PMP at 0. 015%.
Five percent sugar should be added to the solution as an attractant.

MILITARY OPERATIONS;
...
•: /
. . ; - , ..- • - . - - . . , . - . ' , , . . - :

All military and civilian personnel engaged directly or indirectly in
pest control activities at military installations should be acquainted with
the pesticides and equipment recommended for military use which are
tabulated o n t h e following pages.
,v
, • , . , • :
Pesticide items listed are those which have been recommended for
listing in the Military Supply Standards, MSS-6840-5 for Insecticides,
MSS-6840-7 for Insect Repellents, and MSS-6840-1 for Rodenticides,
currently being coordinated.
Upon approval and publication of these standards by the Department
of Defense their use is mandatory on all activities in the selection of
items for new procurement in connection with repetitive use. The pesticides listed have been carefully selected for military use and should be
utilized to the maximum extent possible. Provisions have been.made, of
course, for local purchase of other items having only limited or highly
localized application. Proposed substitutions at installations should be
reviewed by the appropriate major military commands.
,. ; .,.,.
The supply standards include pest control chemicals justified for
central procurement and stocking according to either of the following
criteria:

(b) The item is needed primarily for emergency situations or is not
obtainable locally. Although actual use may be quite infrequent and
dollar volume low, ne\ertheless the emergency requirement may make V
any procurement delay unacceptable. Limited quantities of such items
are held at selected locations under special issue controls. (Example:
DDT-lindane fogging solution, use restricted by AR 420-78; benzyl
benzoate (clothing repellent)).

13

�" Other materials needed in relatively small quantities or for localized
requirements are obtained through routine local procurement. £Exa'mples: 1
c
lime sulphur; nicotine sulphate).
Standard stock pesticide items are listed in the Department of Defense
Section, Federal Supply Catalog, Chemical Materiel, FSC Group 68, published by the Defense Petroleum Supply Center. The insecticide, rodenticide and repellent items currently recommended as the Military Supply
!
Standard are listed on the following pages.
Also listed is dispersal equipment in the Military Supply Standard
and the numbers assigned. This equipment meets the majority of needs
at military installations, and the procurement of substitute items should
be carefully controlled.
These lists will be revised as new pesticides and. equipment become
available or the needs of the services change.
.,
' ;
Standard respirators are not listed at this time because current
stock numbers do not assure that respirators procured will be suitable
for protection against all insecticides. Until insecticide respirators
are standardized the manufacturer's numbers for models, filters and
chemical cartridges must be checked against the current U. S. Department
of Agriculture's list of tested items. ("Respiratory Devices for Protection
Against Inhalation Hazards of Dusts, Mists, and Low Vapor Concentrations

                  <text>&lt;p style="margin-top: -1em; line-height: 1.2em;"&gt;The Alvin L. Young Collection on Agent Orange comprises 120 linear feet and spans the late 1800s to 2005; however, the bulk of the coverage is from the 1960s to the 1980s and there are many undated items. The collection was donated to Special Collections of the National Agricultural Library in 1985 by Dr. Alvin L. Young (1942- ). Dr. Young developed the collection as he conducted extensive research on the military defoliant Agent Orange. The collection is in good condition and includes letters, memoranda, books, reports, press releases, journal and newspaper clippings, field logs and notebooks, newsletters, maps, booklets and pamphlets, photographs, memorabilia, and audiotapes of an interview with Dr. Young.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
