Trials with Aerosol spray to control Aedes aegypti-Biting during DF/DHF epidemic.

Abstract

Hexit Mos kit aerosol application @ 16 ml per 10 seconds sprayed in rooms against Aedes aegypti at 0700 hrs prevented 95.8±4.2% vector to land on human volunteers for 9.65±1.3 hours. Spraying also prevented 87.9±4.1% Aedes aegypti to enter sprayed rooms for 8.25±0.7 hours. Hexit Mos kit aerosol can be used by communities for protection of infants and other vulnerable groups staying at home against Aedes bites.
