... I contacted Mr *** by phone on 4/10/65 (Ballarat) and he stated that he had never done any spraying of seaside resorts.
He had been approached on several occasions, but after laying down certain conditions, such as complete evacuation of humans from the area, the enquiries had not been pursued...
On 13/10/1965, I rang Mr *** who stated that he would spray an average of about 100 acres per year which would be mainly for regular customers:
Seaspray foreshore area.
Latrobe Valley Water and Sewerage Board farming area (including about 12 houses)
Loch Sport (on edge of Lake Victoria)
Caravan Park at Yarram
Eagle Point Reserve (Shire of Bairnsdale).
He also does spraying of odd areas and the maximum acreage in any one year has been 400.
Camping areas would be sprayed about 1 week prior to Christmas when only a few people would be on the site.
Usually spraying is 2 pints of DDT to the acre and 2 ounces of Malathion.
He has also used Baytex
Chief Industrial Hygiene Officer.
