It is a broad spectrum, non-systemic insecticide with contact, residual and stomach action that is ideally suited for thermal fogging or short residual applications against mosquitoes and public health pests. Critically timed treatment of open spaces with airborne droplets of insecticide kills mosquitoes in periods of peak flying activity. Space spraying works best as part of an integrated resistance management program to reduce the overall mosquito population by killing both the biting and breeding adults and reducing the numbers of larvae reaching full development.
