Act
ARS is in Mie piocess of re

On November 20, 1969, ARS
canceled the Federal registra
tion of DDT for use against
shade tree pests, tobacco pests;
house and garden pests; and
pests in aquatic sites such as
marshes, wetlands, and swamps.
Approximately 35 percent of the
total amount of DDT used an
nually in the U S is marketed
for these purposes
