Among the different insecticides tested for the armed forces, the most promising for use with pyrethrum proved to be piperonyl cyclohexenone. Because of its efficiency, safety, and the fact that it was activated by small amounts of pyrethrum, extensive studies were made on the insecticidal properties of compounds that were related to it, by Schroeder, Jones and Lindquist (1). The results were so encouraging that similar studies were made of a related compound. The present paper reports observations were made upon another insecticide of this group known as piperonyl butoxide. It was found to be a safe and stable insecticide that kills many species of insects at reasonably low concentrations. When it was combined with small amounts of pyrethrins, the combination afforded a rapid knockdown, a greater mortality, and a long residual action. The stability of the combination was strikingly shown by the insecticidal properties of residues that are left from applications of surface sprays.

IT is both coincidence and good fortune that an insecticide as promising as DDT is available to the public at a time when insect-borne diseases are again becoming of much greater importance. The war just concluded has again vividly demonstrated that danger lurks where the paths of man and insect cross. While the etiology and indicated control of many insect-borne diseases have been known for a long time, their successful control through the natural evolution of the required techniques, equipment, and materials has been a slow process. As with many other developments essential to human welfare, stimulation born of destruction was necessary to forge earlier the link between knowledge and its application. DDT is more than just another insecticide; it is a tool which properly utilized makes possible new and significant accomplishments. Remarkable is the fact that it may be used with relative safety in a variety of forms, against a wide range of insects, with long lasting residual effect. This potent chemical, coupled with good sanitary practices, is capable of creating levels of freedom from insects much higher than those previously known. It presents a challenge and a responsibility therefore to health agencies. What, then, is the role of health departments in programs involving the use of DDT?
