INSCTS IN THEIR LC In the broad view, insectsplay an imortant natura l role, not on ly in ways that bene
t man but s food for many kinds of sh, amphibians,birds, and mammals. Many of our songbirds depend almost entirely o a n i nsect diet. Every sherma knows howfreshwater game sh go afer insects. sects help makeou rich lant l ife and wildl ife ossible. Keep this broadiew in mind when peole start ta lki g about widespreadnsect controlsomethg that may become ossible withnewer chemicals. Local control may be successful anduseful to ma, but control on a large scale might causemore harm than it would prevet, because isects are soimportant to most other kinds of life about us.
CNTRL O INSCTS There are ways to suplement
the natural control of insects by birds and other animals.e encourge those harm less sects which prey on harmfu l ki nds. We ca n exclude insects with screens, discouragethm ith re e l lents, trap them or oson them. Mny ofthe newer posons are highly eective. ut since there areso many kinds of insects which live and feed in so may
iere ways, here is o sge bes meho o ge rdof them. Yet, with concerte eort some dangerous isects have been wied out over fair ly large areas. Auique example of this was the complete destrucion ofthe Medterrane a frui y, which meaced he cirus cropin 0 Florida counties.
If you have an important nsect problem, consult yulocal oard of ealth or your Couty Aget. Often entomologiss (sec specialiss a uiversiies or museumsca be of assisace. Fially, you ca tu o he Separme of Agricu lure, ureau of Eomoloy ashigto 5, . C., where expers are woi o ealyevery phase of isect l ie a insect corol.
