Summary
Provides an up-to-date historical perspective on light-activated pest control as well as presents an overview of the basic science. Addresses safety concerns in the use of light-activated dyes. Documents the applications of dye-impregnated baits against several species of fruit flies. Discusses applications of allelochemicals in light-catalyzed toxic reactions. Compares hemoglobin and chlorophyll pathways and the effects their intermediates illicit from toxic reactions in plants and animals.
