Silver May be the Answer to Biting Midges
Biting midges are tiny flying insects that spread deadly diseases among
sheep, cattle and other livestock, and prevention usually relies on draining
nearby wetlands that are vital to the ecosystem or using toxic insecticides that
detrimentally effect the environment.
Fortunately, there may be a safer way to get rid of these pests. Researchers at
Kansas State University, University of Arkansas and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture have discovered in lab tests that 250 milligrams per liter of silver
nanoparticles in water can destroy about 90 percent of midge larvae.
