The efficacy of two formulations, wettable powder and emulsifiable concentrate, of cyfluthrin sprayed on plywood [10 mg (ai)/m2] was assessed against six species of mosquitos. The bioassay followed the WHO standard method, with some modification for the bioassay of insecticidal deposits on wall surfaces. The results indicated that these two formulations of cyfluthrin were effective against Anopheles dirus and Mansonia uniformis, moderately toxic to Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus in decreasing mortality through out the study period. It was least effective against Culex quinquefasciatus and An. maculatus, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between these two formulations.
