Abstract
Basically the usefulness depends upon the size of the poison droplets, their volatility, and the absorbing ability of the substrate upon which the insecticide is placed. These conditions differ for different compounds and must be fitted to the individual situation at hand before application can be expected to be satisfactory.Keywords
