A comparison of Freon- and water-based insecticidal aerosols for aircraft disinsection

摘要

In Miami, USA, passenger compartments of wide-bodied jet aircraft were disinsected at ”blocks away” or while parked. The application of 2% Freon- and water-based formulations of (+)-phenothrin at about 35 g/100 m³ was highly effective against mosquitos and flies in all instances. More basic research is needed on water-based aerosols.
