  • Title: Insecticide impregnated ropes as mosquito repellent.
    Author: Sharma VP, Ansari MA, Mittal PK, Razdan RK.
    Journal: Indian J Malariol; 1989 Dec; 26(4):179-85. PubMed ID: 2636150.
    Abstract:
    Ropes were impregnated with different dosages of deltamethrin and burnt throughout the night in human dwellings and cattlesheds. Smoke from smouldering ropes treated with various dose levels gradually saturated rooms and prevented the entry of mosquitoes. This method provided very good protection from mosquito bites including the principal vector of malaria, A. culicifacies. Results of ropes impregnated with 80 ppm deltamethrin were more consistent than at the lower dosage. The technique is indigenous, cost-effective, simple and appropriate for rural areas and does not require any special skills in its application.
