Environmental problems of insecticides application in agriculture to combat blood-sucking dipterous insects

This article discusses scientific studies that indicate the negative factors that arise when using insecticides to combat blood-sucking diptera insects. Diptera insects are carriers of viral diseases of humans and animals, such as anthrax, tularemia, diphtheria, anaplasmosis and others. They also contribute to the transmission of invasive diseases, which further increases their harmfulness. To reduce the economic damage caused by insects, various preventive and extermination measures are used, where the main method is the use of insecticides. However, more and more studies point to the negative impact of chemical insecticides on the environment and non-target organisms, including humans. This may indicate that the scale of the use of insecticidal drugs is far ahead of the study of the consequences associated with their use.  Therefore, the current situation requires a reassessment of this approach to pest control. To collect information, a search was made for scientific papers in Russian and foreign sources on the negative consequences of the use of insecticides and alternative approaches to pest control. Research in this area is necessary to develop effective and environmentally friendly pest control strategies and minimize losses in animal husbandry. To overcome the environmental problems associated with the use of insecticides in animal husbandry, an integrated approach is considered, which includes a variety of tactics based on alternative methods of disinsection and combining mechanical, cultural, biological and chemical methods of pest control while minimizing the use of insecticides.
