The traditional indoor spraying technique to control Anopheles albimanus mosquitos was compared with a selective method that targets their preferred resting sites in coastal villages of southern Mexico. We also determined whether mosquitos changed their preferred resting sites following insecticide applications. In the selective spraying approach, two 1-m wide horizontal swaths of bendiocarb insecticide were applied 0.75-1.75 m from the base of the walls and at 1-m upwards from the base of the inner roof at a target dose of 0.4 g/m2. A 2-year follow-up (1988-90), which included four insecticide treatments, showed that the selective spraying was as effective as full spraying for controlling A. albimanus. Also the mosquitos preferred resting sites that were not modified by the insecticide applications. Finally, the use of this techniques required 46% less time and cost 67% less than conventional spraying.
在墨西哥南部沿海村庄，将传统的室内喷洒技术用于控制白纹伊蚊，与一种针对其偏好栖息场所的选择性方法进行了比较。我们还确定了在施用杀虫剂后蚊子是否会改变其偏好的栖息场所。在选择性喷洒方法中，在距离墙壁基部0.75 - 1.75米处以及从内屋顶基部向上1米处，以0.4克/平方米的目标剂量施用两条1米宽的水平残杀威杀虫剂带。一项为期两年（1988 - 1990年）的随访，包括四次杀虫剂处理，结果表明选择性喷洒在控制白纹伊蚊方面与全面喷洒效果相同。而且蚊子更喜欢未因施用杀虫剂而改变的栖息场所。最后，使用这种技术所需时间减少46%，成本比传统喷洒低67%。
