But within seven years, the insects had become so resistant to the new chemical that researchers had to develop another organic compound, ethyl parathion. That failed in 1961-as did methyl parathion in 1963, and fenthion in 1968. Today, California has no chemical able to kill the pasture mosquito in safe dosages...
Biological Controls. To combat California's rampant mosquitoes, researchers hope to develop new pesticides, but mainly for "emergencies." They now prefer to use the bugs' natural enemies. Culex, for example, can be controlled by the mosquito fish (gambusia) and the common guppy which eat mosquito larvae in water. Certain bacilli, when applied to pasture land, also kill mosquito larvae. Another method includes releasing large numbers of male mosquitoes of the same species but of different strains. Because of genetic incompatibilities, the eggs of the females fail to hatch...
