| Abstract: | Using air-blast sprayers, resmethrin and permethrin were applied to agricultural areas in New Jersey to reduce annoyance to man by Chrysops atlanticus Pechuman. Resmethrin was applied to salt-marsh and to woodland between cultivated fields at 0.112-0.015 kg/ha and reduced fly annoyance by more than 95% 1 h after treatment, 27-97% after 8 h, and 0-96% after 24 h. Resmethrin applied with a low-volume mist blower or ULV sprayer at low doses was also effective. Limited experiments with permethrin gave similar results. The integration of such sprays into a programme against flies and mosquitoes is discussed. |
