Abstract
For control of the tropical rat mite, Ornithonyssus bacoti, in 4 houses a fluoridated silica aerogel was blown into the attic and subfloor areas at the rate of 1 lb./lOOO sq. ft. and also applied in various locations within the houses. In 2 houses the subfloor dusting was omitted. In all 6 houses complete control was obtained.Keywords
