Colbo is heading the second summer: of field trials around Labrador City, where the black fly problem is intense. His work is directed not against adult black flies hopeless task — but against black fly larvae, which are found’ in fast-moving streams and rivers, : SPREAD IN STREAMS Streams in the ‘area’ received small amounts of Bti powder earlier this summer and will receive a second: application by autumn. “If we've got things right, this second larviciding should pretty. well dampen -the black fly population in the area’ where we are working,” Colbo said, Colbo's work is focussed on the three or four black fly les which pose a nuisance to peop!

IN MIDST OF STUDY : Chance is now in the second year of a. three-year field study on the Torch River system in central Saskatchewan, | evaluating the usefulness of Bti against black flies, with special ‘emphasis on ‘one species which is a hazard ‘to livestock. “Bti seems to bev very effective against black fly larvae, with much less inthe’ way of undesirable effects on‘ the environment than would occur with the syalhetie chemicals that are available,” Chance ‘said. The fact that Bti is a “narrow- spectrum” pesticide, with | almost no effect on anything other than black flies, biting midges and mosquitoes, it what makes it such a potentially mportant control agent; said Dr. Jean Hollobone of Agriculture Canada, who is in charge of registration of pesticides against biting flies. 5 > (SPORES HOLD KILLER “The active ingredient in Bti is the spore ‘which the bacillus forms when it reproduces. The bacillus is grown in culture, the spores are skimmed off and killed with heat or by other means and then mixed with a powder or an oil to make the final product, which can be distributed either by . hand--or aerial-spraying. ‘The spores contain a protein which, when ingested by,” the mosquito or. black fly larva from the’ water around ith. destroys the lining ‘of the larva’s gut wall.
