Slide 18: Conclusion
CONCLUSION • Flavocide active against mosquitoes, cat flea, house fly • Knockdown & residual action in lab and field vs. mosquito • Higher rates required compared with permethrin in lab and pyrethrum in field • Flavocide slower acting but provides high level of mortality in lab and good repellency i
Slide 19: Future Work
FUTURE WORK • More field testing vs. other mosquito species • Lab testing vs. SP/OP resistant mosquito strains • Formulation development to improve residual activity • Combination treatments to improve knockdown • Investigate potential synergy with other classes of chemistry • Other urban pests to b
