ABSTRACT

Field trials in Salt Lake City, Utah and Chesapeake, Virginia using caged Cx. tarsalis, Cx. pipiens, and Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles crucians, and Anopheles quadrimaculatus respectively were performed using a new adulticide, etofenprox. Caged mosquitoes were placed on stakes that were located 100 feet apart in a 3 X 3 grid.  24 hour mortality was greater than 90% at 100, 200 and 300 feet down wind from the spray vehicle.
