Pesticides and Equipment Recommended for Use in Military Operations 13 �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. •-. ... 2. 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. 3. FLIES; , r ; . 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. • 4. • GNATS AND OTHER DIPTERA: " ' 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. 5. 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. ' , ' . • ' •.- • 6. LICE; ... • . ....- 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. 8. TICKS: --' '\*» • 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). 9. 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. . •..'•-. 10. 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* 12. STORED PRODUCT INSECTS; " * 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> 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 >•:. 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, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. 3& - ' - ''- '* i' Insecticide, DDT and lindane, .Indoor Fogging, is not to be used for the treatment of warehouses if:±hfey contain food not packaged in glass or tin. 13. 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. 10 �Quantity Per Acre .. , ; ' ,-„ . T V , ,»••;<•;!,• Form , 4-8 Ib.

Emulsion ' Emulsion Emulsion 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. , . H'. INSECTS DAMAGING SHRUBS.

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. 16. PESTICIDES AND EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN : . 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: .... . . - ' . . - . . ; . . . -. . • , . - . • - . - - . ' • : ..--.. •.:'«' : ; (a) Requirements are widespread and annual dollar volume is significant. (Example: 75% water dispersible DDT powder; 57% water emulsifiable malathion concentrate). . . . ,•• -,'. •••-•. • • ' •- ; i; • (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 of Certain Pesticides", U. S. Department of Agriculture Supplement No. 1, dated April 1963). This document has been distributed to military entomologists by the cognizant military service agencies and supersedes all previous releases. The control categories indicated in the following tables are as follows: ' s •'"• I.' 'Ready to use items - no issue control. ' , ' . » . , . . • . . si . i -_ . ' ; - • . - '• ', i -; : II. For use only by installation engineer (or public works) employees with a valid certificate of training in pest control operations, or under the supervision of certified personnel of the medical services. III. Items to be issued only on approval of the Surgeon General. Requisitions for all nonstandard items require approval by the major military commands (Army Commands, Naval Districts, major Air Force Commands). 14 �JTITLE: P E S T , C .

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.</p> <p>For more about this collection, <a href="/exhibits/speccoll/exhibits/show/alvin-l--young-collection-on-a">view the Agent Orange Exhibit.</a></p> Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

The ethanolic solution of the insecticide is reacted -'^ briefly vith alkali causing a quantitative cleavage of the malathion ? r^ producing potassium O.O-diaethj'l phosphorodithioate, potassium fuaarate, -^ and ethanol. The hydrolysis nediun is neutralized to a given pH rang* ." and diluted with aqueous acetone. The resultant solution of 0,C-dimethyl phosphorcdithioic acid is titrated pcter.tionetrically with standardlxedf?-^ silver nitrate, using a silver-calocel electrode syrtea.

Personal (a) Physical condition of troops s Most major consolidated and individual Command Health Reports describe the physical condition of ITS Aray personnel as adequate or satisfactory while a few reports indicate the physical statue of their personnel as being excellent. The overall health of the command remains at a satisfactory level although there were again increases in total disease admissions. (See Tab A). (b) Sanitary discipline: The following selected comments are included because it is felt that they most accurately describe the level of sanitary discipline and personal hygiene among US Army personnel. The 1st Infantry Division reports* "Sanitation standards remain at a high level throughout most of the Division base camp areas. Some units have reached, and continue to maintain, superior sanitation standards. These units are examples of what • good command emphasis can accomplish in improving the living conditions and morale of the troops. The sanitation of IDP's and fire support bases continues to present problems. The Division Surgeon plans to visit these areas as often as air transportation will permit. Any difficulties of, a medical nature should be brought to his attention so that corrective action can be initiated at this level.. Sanitation teams should make frequent Inspections of their unit areas and report the results to the Medical Operations Officer for his action." ^ The 4th Infantry Division makes this comment on personal hygiene: "With a few exceptions personal hygiene is adequate. The monsoon season presents particular difficulty in maintaining clothing resupply. Some units, the tactical situation permitting, have periodic rotation of troops through fire �AVHSD-PM 28 July 1969 SUBJECT: Command Health Report for June 1969 (RCS MED-3 (R-4)) bases or trains area for rest, clean-up, drying out and a change of clothes. The 1 1 Infantry reports such a policy and also supplies a change of clothing /4 every four days and socks every two days. The 1/35 Infantry reports a similarly successful program which allows also health education, dental check-ups, and other medical activities." The status of sanitary discipline within the llth Armored Cavalry Regiment is described as follows: "Sanitary discipline is generally good but continued command support is still needed in the field locations. Increased emphasis on field sanitation teams with a proposed plan to have squadron MSC officers assume more supervisory control over the teams is hoped to improve sanitation in the field." From the 3d Brigade, 82d Airborne Division conies this report: "The sanitary discipline within the Brigade is good. Because of operational conditions in some of the areas} i.e., inundated areas, personal hygiene is sometimes less than desirable but it is good as can be expected under existing conditions. Adequate shower facilities are available in all permanent installations and fire bases. There is a fly problem around one of the fire bases (Hardcore, 1/508 Infantry). This is due mainly to the civilian garbage dumps surrounding the fire base. This will continue to be a problem until the garbage sites can be destroyed or relocated. Trash and garbage cans are covered within the fire base itself and field sanitation is excellent. Arrangements are being made through Brigade Vietnamese Liaison Officer to look into the possibility of relocating garbage sites away from the fire base. Rodent control seems adequate. There were only two rat bites on post during this period. There are adequate rat traps within the Brigade." Finally the 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mech) reports: "Rodents have not been a major problem in base camp areas, primarily because of good area sanitation. Sanitation of bunker areas on camp perimeters has been of variable quality. Food and refuse in bunker areas will attract rats which in turn attract snakes, creating a hazard to those on guard duty*. Pacific Architects and Engineers have assumed the Post Engineer functions of entomology and rodent control at Red Devil and LZ Sharon. They have set out rodent anticoagulant bait boxes on these bases and refill them at scheduled intervals. Steps have been taken to insure better police in perimeter bunkers. They havealso assumed responsibij^ty^^fjgr^JLBjgJB^M^ " baseia. General area sanitationfinal water monitoring before consumption and waste disposal are still under the responsibility of each company through its Field Sanitation Teams." (c) Bathing facilities, adequacy of clothing and status of training in personal hygiene and field sanitation: The 1st Infantry Division Surgeon states: "Some units continue to need work on their shower drainage systems. Several small marshes, heavily populated with insects, have been found in the �rnjU-PM 28 July 1969 rBJECT: Command Health Report for June 1969 (RCS MED-3 (R-4)) are again meaningless due to the constant variation of numbers and locations of collecting stations, and the inability of units to timely process all collections. Trends are important, and even with the inaccuracies it can clearly be concluded that mosquito populations are sharply increasing in locations affected by the monsoon rains. Total numbers identified this quarter were: 7582 for April, 13,060 for May, and 28,830 for June. Disease and epidemiological data found elsewhere in this report indicate the continuing rise of known and suspected mosquito-borne diseases in RVN. 6. Medical Zoology Section (a) Small animal processing: Five hundred and twenty-eight (528) rodents were processed during the month of June. (b) Plague analysis: Rodent spleens, flea pools and aerology samples were forwarded to the Institute of Pasteur at Nha Trang or Saigon for plague analysis. Serology of a Bandicota indica (a large rat type rodent) from Long Binh Post was plague positive. No spleens or flea pools were positive for plague. (c) The overall average number of fleas per rodent (flea index) continued to increase as April was 0*59; May was 0.95 and June was 1.2. Whereas, this overall index may be inaccurate and of questionable value it is interesting to note that off-post the index was about 3.0 while on-post it was only O c ?c The only similarily significantly high individual location index was at Cam Ranh Bay off-post with a 3*07 which though high is down from the 3c97 of May. (b) Rodent mites were of significance in the Cu Chi area. A marked increase in Leptotrombida mites indicates a greater than usual danger of scrub typhus in that area* * 7. Aerial Dispersal of Insecticides (a) Air Force C-123 "Ranch Hand"« Both C-123 aircraft continued in use.. The target interval varied, but is approaching the desired of 10 days, The following missions were flown in the month of June. The number accompanying the area indicates the number of missions if more than one: Phu Cat (3), Hue/Phu Bai (3), Due My (6), Da Nang (6), Ninh Hoa (3), Phan Rang (3), Chu Lai U), Men Hoa (2), Ap Nam/Phuoc Tho (3), Tan Son Nhut (2), Long Binh 199th FSBs, Cam Ranh ( ) Dong Ha/Quang Trl ( ) and Pleiku. A total of 2, 3, 15,775 gallons of 95$ malathion was applied to the areas listed in"the 46 missions completed. ; (b) Helicopter Spraying: Eight Agavenco insecticide sprayers finally arrived. Four each were assigned to the 20th and 172d Preventive Medicine Units respectively. The rigs as received were unsuitable for ultra low volume (ULV, which is 0.5 Ib/acre) application of malathion. Commendable I Zl �AVHSU-PM 28 July 1969 SUBJECTS Command Health Report for June 1969 (RCS MED-3 (R-4)) work has been done by MAJ Waddell, Staff Entomologist, 20th Preventive Medicine Unit to calibrate the rigs using available nozzles and components. Due to his success helicopter spray missions should begin sometime in July. (c) Unauthorized Aerial Sprayings (1) Jfelicopter herMcide_8joijyej^_j£QjjyjaiejbQ_j)e used for.._tJie unauthorized dispersajTof Tnagcticides^incontradiotion to the provisi " Directive 4 - 0 01. " (2) From 28 February 1968 thru 1 March 1969, USAF, PA&E, and Preventive Medicine Unit activities utilized or had in stock at the end of this period about 3960 55-gallon barrels of 57J6 malathion. However, USA Inventory Control Center, Vietnam figures show that 8686 barrels were issued during the same period. Approximately 2 0 0 0 gallons of CONCENTRATED 6,0 malathion appears to have been used by unauthorized sources. (3) Authority and thus responsibility for helicopter application of insecticides has been delegated to the conaanders of the preventive medicine units and detachments. Such missions must be conducted under the supervision of a medical entomologist. Such authority has not been granted to major tactical unit chemical officers or even surgeons. NOTE: When helicopter application of insecticides are deemed advisable by the unit surgeon the nearest preventive medicine unit, detachment or section should be contacted. A list of such preventive medicine units, their addresses, and telephone numbers is contained in Appendix I, Change 1 to USARV Regulation 4 0 1 . .-2 8. Pesticides (a) Safety and Toxicology: As malathion is an insecticide with acute dermal toxicity of approximately one half that of DDT all supervisors of personnel handling malathion must adhere to the provisions of USARV Regulation 4-7 04. (b) Shortages of several items continue to exist. All instances of insecticide supply problems at any level should be documented and forwarded direct to.

In accordance with reference (a), the following information is provided regarding the subject use of pesticides in Vietnam. The data vas compiled from monthly reports from the Preventive Medicine Officer, 1st MARDIV (REIN) FMF, to the Division Surgeon, 1st MARDIV. Reports were available for only the last six months of 1968. The region involved included the immediate and surrounding areas of DaNang, Phu Bai and An Hoa. 2. Pests and Vectors a. Mosquitoes larval control adult control b. 11,600 Ibs 3,511 gals 270 gals 2% Baytex granules 6% Malathion 1.5%.Malathion Rodents 1000 zinc phosphide torpedoes 1000 Ibs diphacin blocks c.

The following were pesticides issued to various units in the 1st MARDIV TAOR during the six-month period: �DVECC:01:fic 6250 482 gals 486 Ibs 0.5% Diazinon 2% Baytex granules 168 Ibs Warfarin 263 Ibs 74 Ibs Diazinon dust 1% Lindane dust 115 gals 57% Malathion 5 Ibs 4. 5% Chlordane dust The equipment used to disperse the pesticides included: Dyna Fog cold foggers John Beam hydraulic sprayer Grandap aerial dispersal rig Mity Mite back packs Hand compressed air sprayer 5. Documents used in pest and vector control operations included: MO-310, Military Operational Handbook DVECC Recommendations for Chemical Control of Disease Vectors and Economic Pests Copies of any pertinent 1st MARDIV regulations or directives are not available. A .Newsletter, "Preventive Medicine Digest," was used to promulgate limited information on vector control- techniques (copies are not available). Formal classes were also held on vector control methods and safety for corpsmen in the 1ST MARDIV TAOR. 6. According to unofficial records, "Ranch Hand" operations in the DaNang area dispensed a total of 8400 gallons of 57% Malathion on 4 separate operational periods during the last 6 months of 1968. 7. In the 1st MARDIV, the greatest pesticide exposure to combat troops was probably from Malathion used in fogging and aerial dispersal operations. 8. The above information is not meant to be a summary of all pesticides used by the 1st MARDIV during June-December 1968. Summary data on pesticides used by various component units was not available. 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- ).

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.</p> <p>For more about this collection, <a href="/exhibits/speccoll/exhibits/show/alvin-l--young-collection-on-a">view the Agent Orange Exhibit.</a></p> Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
