The combined adulticidal, larvicidal, and wall residual activity of ULV-applied bifenthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, was evaluated in houses in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, against larvae and adults of lab-bred Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. A portable ULV sprayer was used to disperse a ULV formulation of bifenthrin at a discharge rate of 45 ml/min. The results indicated that bifenthrin sprayed at this rate exhibited all the three activities against the test mosquitoes. Complete adult mortalities were achieved, while very high larvicidal activity was also effected, which persisted for seven days. Wall bioassay with adults of Ae aegypti also resulted in very high mortality, which also persisted for one week. The combined mosquitocidal activities of bifenthrin is considered more effective especially in the control of dengue vectors.
