USDA rejects Texas' unproven screwworm bait, backing proven sterile fly program.
The USDA has criticized Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller for relying on an unproven synthetic bait, TDA Swormlure, in traps that captured only one New World Screwworm fly, rejecting his suggestion to alter results.
The federal agency continues to prioritize a $750 million facility in Edinburg to produce 300 million sterile flies weekly, a proven method to suppress the pest.
While Miller defends his state’s approach, major Texas agricultural groups support the USDA’s strategy, urging focus on established eradication efforts amid ongoing tensions between state and federal officials over the best response to the threat.
