title: Field evaluation of dimethoate as a systemic for the control of chigger mites in the Pescadores Island of Taiwan.
abstract: A 0.25% concentration of dimethoate applied as a surface coat on bait grain was evaluated in an open field trial in the Pescadores Islands of Taiwan for the systemic control of chigger mites. Unsatisfactory levels of control were observed on all 4 species of mammals studied. Chigger control with systemics does not appear practical at this time.
