Insecticide Dosage Number tested % Mortality 95% Confidence Intervals
Lambdacyhalothrin 0.05% 208 97 (95–99)
Permethrin 0.75% 207 100 (100–100)
Bendiocarb 0.10% 200 99 (98–100)
Malathion 5% 200 100 (100–100)

Time taken (minutes) for 50% of mosquitoes to be knocked-down (KDT-50) during exposure in 250 ml glass bottles treated with 10 µg/ml permethrin alone (no synergist) or mixed with synergists PBO, DEF or PBO+DEF (n = 100 for each treatment).
