Resin emanators, metofluthrin

Abstract Metofluthrin (commercial name SumiOne, Eminence ) is a novel pyrethroid insecticide developed by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. Metofluthrin has extremely high insecticidal activity to various pest insects, especially to mosquitoes. In addition, Metofluthrin has relatively high volatility and low mammalian toxicity. Metofluthrin is therefore suitable for use not only in conventional mosquito control formulations such as coils and liquid vaporizers, but also in a variety of novel devices that do not require heating, such as fan vaporizers and paper and resin emanators. Here we describe the insecticidal activity of Metofluthrin mainly against mosquitoes in various formulations in both laboratory and field trials. 

To confirm the efficacy of Metofluthrin resin emanators, we conducted a field trial in Japan. A polyethylene net incorporated with 185 mg Metofluthrin was folded and set in a plastic frame as shown in Fig. 9. The plastic frame was used...
