Abstract
Of materials safe for use among several thousand chemicals tested the most effective against Aedes spp. in the field and A. aegypti in the laboratory were propyl N. N-diethylsuccinamate, Repellent 6-12 (2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol), and dimethyl carbate. Dimethyl phthalate was the most effective in laboratory tests against Anopheles quadrimaculatus. The most effective mixtures in both laboratory and field tests contained dimethyl phthalate and Indalone, and either dimethyl carbate, diethyl 1,2-cyclo-hexanedicarboxylate, or Repellent 6-12.
