CIENCE FICTION wasps. “It will not stop Spreading,”” says Gold. “There is not the biolgoical balance we find with other insects as far as natural predators." Such imbalance’ was brought about in the first place by man’s interference with nature — and _ the armval of the gypsy moth is like something Straight out of a science fiction movie. It started off in 1869 when a French scientist in- troduced them to the U-S. with the intention of crossing them with native = silk- spinning caterpillars to produce aie hardy. silk- spinning insect. Some of them escaped from his Massachusetts home into the nearby woods and despite searches could not be found. They were next seen 10 years later, by which time they were completely established. Within another 10 years they were destroying trees within an area of 360 square miles. Now they have gained hold of areas of forest around Montreal and London, Ontano.

Opponents of the chemical spraying programs point to Sevin as being carcinogenic and suggest instead the use of Safer's soap or other alternatives. A Spraying program currently ongoing in Washington is using a biological disease agent known as BT, which attacks the insides of the cater- pillars. Gold says there has not been sufficient research to show the effectiveness of soap on the moths. However, he acknowledges that it is effective on other pests and that areas in Kits which were not sprayed with chemicals were soaped and that overall the problem seems to have been dealt with there.

But they will probaby have to spray for many years before achieving control, whereas sometimes chemicals can achieve it in one season.” Gold agrees the dangers of the chemcial have been shown in laboratory tests but. points out that it was with far stronger concentrations than are used in spraying and that the experiments were on rats. As to how weaker doses might react on humans, it is hard to be sure, he says. The only way is to try it out — and so far nobody’s come forward to offer themselves for an experiment.
