Abstract: Barricor Essential, by Envu, is a FIFRA exempt (25b) mosquito adulticide intended for perimeter treatments in environments that may experience traffic from bees and other non-target pollinators. In both a residual efficacy test and a simulated ULV spray tunnel, SLCMAD evaluated Barricor Essential against Ae. aegypti, An. quadrimaculatus, Cx. pipiens, and Apis mellifera (winter bees). The product was screened at its intended label rate as well as potentially viable large acreage rates for ULV with the intent to identify an exposure range that is serviceable for wide area adulticide operations.
