The membership of a private golf club in South Carolina's Piedmont Physiographic Region was surveyed to determine perceptions regarding local black fly populations and the effects of these populations on golfing habits. The economic impact of black fly annoyance at this club was estimated to be $27,202. Adult monitoring indicated that the pest species were members of the Simulium jenningsi group; larval monitoring identified the Enoree River, Laurens County, as the primary source of the pest species. A localized suppression program was initiated during the late summer of 1994 and continued through the fall of 1995. Four larvicide applications were conducted in 1994 and 11 in 1995, using the biological insecticide Vectobac. Larval mortalities of 94.5 and 97% were produced during 1994 and 1995, respectively. Adult black fly populations were reduced 92 and 88% during 1994 and 1995, respectively, from pre-program populations. Improvements for future suppression programs are proposed.
对南卡罗来纳州皮埃蒙特自然地理区域一家私人高尔夫俱乐部的会员进行了调查，以确定他们对当地蚋种群的看法以及这些种群对高尔夫运动习惯的影响。据估计，该俱乐部因蚋骚扰造成的经济影响为27,202美元。成虫监测表明，害虫种类属于詹宁斯蚋组；幼虫监测确定劳伦斯县的伊诺里河是害虫种类的主要来源。1994年夏末启动了一项局部抑制计划，并持续到1995年秋季。1994年进行了4次杀幼虫剂施用，1995年进行了11次，使用的是生物杀虫剂Vectobac。1994年和1995年幼虫死亡率分别为94.5%和97%。与计划实施前的种群数量相比，1994年和1995年成虫蚋种群数量分别减少了92%和88%。文中还提出了对未来抑制计划的改进建议。
