Abstract
Residual application of tetrachlorvinphos dust (Debantic 50WP) was evaluate d against darkling beetles in commercial broiler chicken barns. The dust fo rmulation was applied using an electrostatic duster after clean out of old litter at the start of a new broiler cycle. Tetrachlorvinphos dust provided adequate control of beetle larvae and adults up to 5 wk. One time of appli cation is adequate for one commercial broiler chicken production cycle only .
