In one location pesticides called
pyrethoids were used to control
winter moths and leaf miners in
apple orchards. Unfortunately, the
chemicals killed more insects than
intended, including predators of
red mites and apple mites. After
orchards were sprayed with
pyrethoids, the mite population
rose quickly, damaging the trees
and reducing the yield of apples.
What recommendations would
you make to anyone who planned
to use pyrethoids?
