Abstract
A 2% formulation of (+)-phenothrin dispensed from 340-g or break-off tip aerosol cans was highly effective against mosquitos in aircraft disinsection trials. Two minutes after application at “blocks away”, the mass median diameter of the dispersed drops was 5.1-6.2 μm. The concentration of the insecticide in the cabin fell to 10% of the original concentration after 9.2 min. No odour or irritation was caused by the use of this insecticide.
