Controle de Musca domestica Linnaeus (Diptera, Muscidae) em área de manejo de vinhaça (Macatuba, São Paulo, Brasil)
Refuse from sugar and alcohol industries is rich in organic matter, offering an ideal breeding ground for house-flies. This pest breeds in countless numbers in such substrate, causing severe outbreaks in several counties of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. To control the nuisance, the formula: borax (Na2B4O7) and slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) solutions of 3.18% and 0.35%, respectively, were applied at the channels carrying the waste waters from the alcohol refinery at intervals of 10-15 days. With this method, a very satisfactory control of house-fly populations was obtained at Macatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, between July 1981 and April 1982.
