Insecticides and Wildlife (ENY511/IN881)
When we use chemical insecticides to eliminate problem insects, we discover that the effects of insecticides are not always limited to these 6-legged targets. Wildlife, pets, and humans also can be affected by insecticides. So, one of the great challenges confronting humans is to develop ways to manage insects without affecting non-target organisms.
