Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effect of insecticidal barrier spray on vegetation for the control of Aedes albopictus in the field, and provide the technical support for the control of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases. Methods In the present study, 2.5% beta-cyfluthrin was applied as a barrier spray to vegetation. Two mosquito sampling methods of mosq-ovitraps and human landing catch were used to investigate the mosquito density. Results The average density reduction was 92.7%, 83.7%, 89.1%, and 61.4% respectively in human landing catch in 1-4 weeks after spraying. The reduction of mosq-ovitrap index were 91.4%, 88.9%, 76.6%, and 85.7% respectively in mosq-ovitraps during the same time period. Conclusion The study showed that the Ae. albopictus were controlled by insecticidal barrier spray on vegetation lasting 3 weeks, it could provide technical support for the sustainable control and management of Aedes mosquitoes.
