Abstract: New intervention methods and product formulations are needed to better control pyrethroid-resistant Aedes aegypti populations and mitigate the risk of mosquito-borne disease. Collier Mosquito Control District recently conducted a semi-field cage trial utilizing a new dual-action ultra-low volume adulticide. The adulticide was tested against a susceptible laboratory strain of Aedes aegypti and our pyrethroid-resistant Collier strain of Aedes aegypti. Results showed that both strains exhibited quick knockdown and have shown promising results 48 hours post-treatment.
