This chemical control, in general, falls into two phases: insecticidal and repellent activity.

The development of insecticides is well known from the advances in the preparations of pyrethrins and DDT (2,2-bis [p-chlorophenyl]-1,1,1-trichloroethane) and its newer analogues, such as DDD (1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis-[p-chlorophenyl]-ethane) and methoxychlor (1,1,1trichloro-2,2-bis [p-methoxyphenyl]-ethane. Perhaps less is known about the developments of new insecticidal materials, which include such substances as gammexane® (hexachlorocyclohexane), velsicol 1068® (also called chlordan), hexaethyltetraphosphate, piperine compounds, parathion (0,0-diethyl-0-p-nitrophenyl thiophosphate), very toxic, phenyl cellosolve® (ethylene glycol monophenyl ether) and eura® (10 per cent crotonyl-N-ethyl-ortho-toluidide).¹ Dermatologists should be interested also in the . . .
