Summary
Field comparison of thermal fog and ULV pyrethrin space spray against Aedes aegypti.
Key findings
A 3% pyrethrin plus pyriproxyfen space spray reduced some Aedes aegypti populations for up to 20 days, though neither method reached mosquitoes in sheltered locations and ULV out-killed the thermal fogger on 2 of 4 products.
Limitations
Indoor application, so open-yard performance differs.
