[QUOTE="KDM, post: 330138, member: 314"] The formulations I used of Methoprene and Dimilin were only for aquatic applications. We took adult mosquito and sand fly counts before treatment, treated the water where the larval forms of biting flies develop, then took adult counts for several days after treatment and found significant reductions in the number of adults captured at the treated sites. These products interfere with chitin development so the larvae can never pupate into adults. So, unless the bees are swimming and are in their larval forms, these products won't affect them. I've seen these products work in isolated water sources before. As EHD seems to be most severe in dry conditions, these products might be of use in the less numerous water sources that result from dry conditions. If it does show to have some efficacy in knocking down midge numbers, it might give deer guys a tool to use to try to keep those deer they work so hard to grow alive. Deer hunters spend thousands of dollars on bait, food plots, stands, cameras, and all the other items that go along with it. If they had a way to go to the water sources in their area during dry conditions and drop a couple dunks in them to try to keep EHD from killing their deer, it might just help keep these die offs from being so significant. It's just a thought. [/QUOTE]
