Fixed-wing, aerial application of liquid Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 (Acrobe) for control of spring Aedes mosquitoes in Michigan.
Liquid Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 (Acrobe) was applied from fixed-wing aircraft at a rate of 4.68 liters of water-insecticide mixture (1.17 liter concentrate) per hectare to woodland pools in Michigan. A post-treatment larval survey indicated an 88.5% reduction in Aedes species larvae. A volume median diameter of 208 microns was determined.
