Abstract
Pyrethrins dissolved in dichlorodifluoromethane with sesame oil were sprayed into a room of 960 cu. ft. containing cheese skipper (Piophila casei) adults. When 12.5 g. of soln. containing 50 mg. of pyrethrins and 116 mg. of sesame oil was used, mortality was nearly complete in 24-hrs. using a 30-min. exposure period.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
