Description

<p>We tested the effectiveness of the aerial application of the insecticide 5% phenothrin with the use of a drone-mounted ultra-low-volume (ULV) sprayer flying 5 m above the ground. Caged Aedes albopictus adults were placed in an open field 80 cm above the ground in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. A perfect mosquito knockdown was achieved within 10 min after the application. And all of the mosquito individuals were not resuscitated until 60 min after knockdown. We also observed that 0.3μm microparticles of the insecticide were distributed around the test area. These results indicate that drone applications of insecticides might be a convenient way to reach areas that are difficult to access via the ground.</p>
