The mechanism of release for these capsules, ie, by rupture or breakage, is suitable for controlling insect pests on surfaces. Formulations were developed for the control of cockroaches (based on fenitrothion or cyphenothrin), for termites (based on fenitrothion either applied to surfaces or incorporated into the glue of plywood), and for mosquitoes and flies on aggressive surfaces such as cement (based on fenitrothion and lambda-cyhalothrin). In the case of cockroach control the pickup of microcapsules and the efficient dehvery (often by grooming and ingestion of dust plus capsules) can give control of individuals resistant to diazinon or fenitrothion.
