Abstract
Cyfluthrin (Solfac ULO 15(R)) and malathion 96 TG were evaluated again st sentinel sugar-fed adults and 4th-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti at high-rise flats in Malaysia by ULV spraying. The impact of both insec ticides on field populations of Aedes spp. (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopi ctus) larvae were monitored weekly using containers. Both cyfluthrin a nd malathion 96 TG showed adulticidal effects but cyfluthrin showed mo re significant larvicidal effect than malathion 96 TG (P < 0.05).
