Resumo: In mud houses in Wakara, Upper Volta, dichlorvos dispensers installed at the rate of one dispenser per approximately 500 cubic feet (14 m(3)) produced 70% or higher average kills of adult Aëdes aegypti, exposed overnight in screen wire cages suspended at levels of 6 feet (1.8 m) and 2 feet (0.6 m), for approximately three months during the wet season and four months during the dry season. Average kills of 96% and 80% were obtained in the dry season at the 6-foot and 2-foot levels, respectively, with 6-hour daytime exposures 17-22 weeks after treatment.
