EXTERNAL APPLICATION OF PROPOXUR IN VILLAGE TRIALS AGAINST ANOPHELES ALBIMANUS IN EL SALVADOR, CENTRAL AMERICA
A single application of propoxur at the rate of approximately 2 g/sq m to the eaves and the entire outside wall surfaces of houses of open or loose construction in the coastal areas of El Salvador drastically reduced the number of intradomiciliary bites by Anopheles albimanus and the number of early morning resting mosquitoes for three to four weeks.

Abstract
Although the second treatment was applied to the same house several weeks after the first treatment had lost most of its effectiveness, the data suggest some additive effect from the second application. This additive effect appears to be sufficient to warrant further studies of this technique, with the subsequent insecticide applications being more closely timed to coincide with the loss of an acceptable level of effectiveness from each previous treatment applied.
