UF Researcher's Innovative Fence Helps Control Sand Flies

d that worked great. The problem is DDT and chlordane stay in the muck forever, and now they're banned," Day said. "Besides, if you spray all the vegetation on the edge of the marsh with insecticide, you kill every insect that lands on that vegetation, not just sand flies.

"What we have essentially done is remove insecticide from the marsh. We bring the sand flies to the trap and catch them," Day said. "So we're not killing butterflies, fireflies, parasitic wasps or beetles or anything other than sand flies."

UF and Air Liquide, an international company that produces carbon dioxide gas, have patented the trap.
